Expert Tree Risk Assessment
We offer 3-levels of services to identify and diagnose potential risks, along with a plan to mitigate those risks. With ice storms, Nor'easters and hurricanes increasing in our area, downed trees and limbs causing power-outages and damage to assets are becoming more common.
This proactive service is designed to protect businesses, homeowners, and municipalities from:
-
Personal injury and liability
-
Property damage
-
Disruption of activities
Level 1 is a Limited Visual Assessment performed by walking or driving by a tree and looking for obvious defects, hazards, or problems.
Level 2 is a Basic Assessment that involves a detailed inspection (from the ground) of the site and the tree, including the root zone, the trunk, the scaffold branches, and the upper canopy. This assessment also considers potential targets that may be impacted by tree failure and the possible consequences of failure.
The Level 3 is an Advanced Assessment involves a more thorough examination of specific defects, tree parts or targets. Specialized tools are often used in an advanced assessment.
Examples, include resistance drilling devices, sonic imaging devices, air tools for excavating roots, etc. The use of these tools requires special training and the ability to interpret the acquired information.
Advanced Assessments are most often performed by arborists (us!) with experience in the use of these specialized tools, as well as an understanding of tree biology and biomechanics.
