Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have a fallen tree, or suspect that your tree has been damaged by lightning or a storm, it is a good idea to call a certified tree surgeon. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and deal with a fallen tree, as there are many objects that could be trapped underneath or around the tree, as well as any live power lines. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re usually taken as being strong and permanent, trees can come to be vulnerable in extreme weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Violent storms and very high winds have been seen to decimate trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it additionally can result in costly repairs.

The most difficult option following a storm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less straightforward. The more challenging decision is whether any of the trees still standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been partly injured in the windstorm may present a future risk and may well have to be chopped down and took out to avoid putting property and people in danger in many months or years to come.

Other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked parts being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Others might need to get staked down with guy cables or supported with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to clear away the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building crews access to the property to start repairs on the damaged properties and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of damage causes a different outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that might just differentiate one verdict from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 sorts of storm damage which a tree can not typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, making the crown to fall or to bend strongly whilst the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break beneath the ground, leading to the tree leaning or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most typically on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The whole crown essentially becomes a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a considerably higher danger to fall even though it made it through the original windstorm.
