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 individuals should not attempt to 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.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they are usually considered as being solid and permanent, trees can easily become at risk in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and strong winds have been seen to decimate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it additionally may result in costly repair work.

The hardest option after a storm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty simple. The tougher choice is whether some of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partially affected in the storm can present a possible future threat and may have to be chopped down and took out to avoid putting property & people in danger in several months or even years in the future.

Other trees may be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most injured sections being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous limb. Some other will require to be staked with guy ropes or held up with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree professionals can be relied upon to remove the broken trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building and construction teams easy access to the building to begin restorations on the damaged structures and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of problem results in a distinct prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a prognosis is a job best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to disregard a small detail that can separate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, causing the crown to fall or angle violently even though the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree split underneath the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The entire crown effectively turns into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind 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 lot of additional effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a very much greater danger to drop despite the fact that it survived the initial storm.
