Tree Root Investigation

At Rootcontrollers & Hydrox Australia, we provide expert tree root investigations to help identify and manage tree root systems with precision and care. Through our Non-Destructive Digging techniques, we can safely expose tree roots without causing harm to the tree or nearby infrastructure. This method allows us to gather valuable insights into the health, growth, and potential risks of tree roots while preserving the environment.
When is a Tree Root Investigation Necessary?
Tree root investigations are vital in various scenarios, including:
- Assessing Root Damage: Over time, tree roots can infiltrate underground utilities, pathways, or building foundations, potentially causing structural damage. A root investigation helps determine the extent of the damage and whether it poses a risk to infrastructure.
- Construction and Development: When constructing new buildings, roads, or infrastructure, it’s essential to assess nearby trees and their root systems as per Australian Standards and Tree Protection Plans. Our investigations help ensure that construction work doesn’t threaten the stability of existing trees or their roots.
- Tree Health Monitoring: Root health is critical to a tree’s overall vitality. An investigation can identify signs of disease, rot, or other issues affecting root growth. Early detection ensures the tree’s health is maintained and any necessary interventions are carried out promptly.
- Council and Environmental Compliance: Regulations are in place to protect the root systems of trees, particularly in urban environments. Our investigations help property owners and developers comply with environmental and Australian Standard regulations, ensuring that tree protection measures are met.

- Root Exposure: Using our hydro excavation equipment, we carefully expose the roots of the tree without disturbing the surrounding soil or environment.
- Detailed Reporting: We document the encountered root systems. Our findings are then compiled into a comprehensive report with recommendations for the next steps.
