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.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they are often considered as being strong and timeless, trees may end up being vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it additionally will cause costly restorations.

The hardest option following a storm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly simple. The tougher possibility is whether or not some of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly harmed in the storm might present a future threat and might need to be disassembled and took away to avoid placing people and property at risk in several months or years to come.

Other trees can be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how an operating surgeon may amputate a gangrenous limb. Others might require to be staked down with guy cables or held up with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

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

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of damage creates a distinct prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to disregard a small detail that could separate one conclusion from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are generally six types of storm damage which a tree can not generally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to come down or angle strongly whilst the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear underneath the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This takes place most often on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The entire crown ultimately transforms into 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 standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many additional effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a substantially increased risk to drop even though it made it through the initial storm.
