Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you are concerned about a tree that has fallen or has been damaged from lightning or a storm, we recommend calling a qualified 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 are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they’re generally seen as being solid and everlasting, trees may become defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Intense storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also may lead to expensive repairs.

The toughest option after a windstorm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less easy. The more difficult possibility is whether or not any of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partly harmed in the windstorm can present a future risk and may well need to be chopped down and disposed of to prevent placing property & people in danger in several months or even years ahead.

Other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most injured sections being ‘cut off’ similar to how an operating surgeon would take off a gangrenous leg. Others will require to get staked down with guy ropes or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to remove the affected trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building and construction teams easy access to the property to start repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage leads to a distinct outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to disregard a small detail that may differentiate one verdict from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage that a tree can not generally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to bend violently even though the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap under the earth, leading to the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The entire crown essentially ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a number of secondary effects including 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 much increased danger to fall even if it got through the initial windstorm.
