A tomograph uses sound impulses to evaluate the density of a tree’s trunk or branches.

Often homeowners become concerned when a larger, well-established tree may appear to threaten the house or property if it were to fall during adverse weather conditions. Ultimately, this is a big concern that requires more information before making a final decision.

“The Arbotom® tomograph unit provides an inside view of the tree that you simply can’t get from a visual inspection,” said SHTC founder, Sam Hill. “While this technology isn’t for every situation, it does identify hidden decay and cavity issues that may be affecting the structure and longevity of your tree.”
