Tree Surgeon Otley

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. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are often taken as being strong and eternal, trees can come to be vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Violent storms and very high winds have been known to decimate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it also may result in costly renovations.

The most difficult decision after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty simple. The tougher possibility is whether any of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been in part damaged in the storm may present a potential future risk and may well have to be disassembled and took away to prevent putting people and property in danger in many months or even years to come.

Some other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their most injured parts being ‘severed’ just like how an operating surgeon may remove a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked with guy wires or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

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

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of problem results in an unique prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to overlook a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are generally 6 types of storm damage which a tree can’t typically sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, resulting in the crown to fall or to angle violently even though the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree split underneath the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The full crown basically ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a considerably increased risk to drop despite the fact that it got through the initial storm.
