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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Though they’re often viewed as being solid and eternal, trees can end up being defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Violent storms and strong winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it also will lead to expensive repairs.

The most difficult option following a windstorm is not how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less straightforward. The harder decision is whether or not any of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partially affected in the storm might present a potential threat and might have to be chopped down and took away to avoid placing people and property at risk in several months or years in the future.

Other trees may be preserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged sections being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon may remove a gangrenous leg. Others will need to be staked with guy cables or supported with other 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 fall on property, our tree experts can be relied upon to take away the broken trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building crews easy access to the building to begin repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of problem results in an unique diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to miss a small detail that might differentiate one decision from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are basically six types of storm damage which a tree can not generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, resulting in the crown to come down or angle violently whilst the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split underneath the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most often on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The whole crown essentially becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits 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 much higher risk to fall even though it endured the initial storm.
