Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. Untrained persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re typically viewed as being strong and eternal, trees may become defenceless in extreme weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Intense storms and very high winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it also can cause expensive restorations.

The toughest decision following a storm is not how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty easy. The more difficult possibility is whether or not some of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately damaged in the storm may pose a future threat and may well have to be disassembled and removed to avoid placing property & people at risk in months or even years ahead.

Some other trees may be preserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged parts being ‘cut off’ just like how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous limb. Others might require to be staked down with guy cables or supported with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree specialists can be trusted to get rid of the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building teams access to the property to begin repairs on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of damage causes a distinct outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however making a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to overlook a small detail that might just separate one conclusion from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, leading to the crown to fall or bend violently whilst the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack under the soil, resulting in the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The full crown effectively ends up being a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a very much higher risk to fall even though it survived the original storm.
