Frequently Asked Questions
Why is non-destructive root investigation important?
AirSpade investigation allows us to expose roots without damaging them, ensuring accurate mapping while preserving tree health. It is essential for developments, engineering designs and structural damage claims.
Can root investigation help with DA or CDC approvals?
Yes. Councils often require root location and encroachment mapping to determine development feasibility, TPZ/SRZ impacts and whether tree retention is possible.
Will this show if roots are damaging my foundation or driveway?
Yes. We can identify whether roots are causing cracking, lifting, displacement or structural distortion. Our report outlines cause, severity and recommended management.
What happens if roots are too close to proposed construction?
We provide AS 4970 encroachment calculations and recommend solutions, which may include root pruning, construction design adjustments, or a tree removal report with Council permit.
