Tree Tomography Quebec
To accurately diagnose and effectively treat the internal condition of your tree — or determine whether it should be removed — tree tomography is essential!

Tree Tomography in Quebec City

Tree tomography in Quebec City is an exclusive service we offer to detect internal structural problems and issues that are not visible from the outside of the tree.

Not sure whether your tree is dangerous or why it appears weakened? We will provide you with an accurate diagnosis.

Our company is the only one in the province using this arboriculture technology.

What Is Tree Tomography?

Tree tomography makes it possible to analyze the inside of a trunk without damaging it. The tree remains completely intact during the evaluation.

We use specialized equipment that sends sound waves (ultrasound) through the wood. These waves react differently depending on the solidity of the trunk, allowing us to reconstruct a 2D or 3D image of the inside of the tree.

We can detect weakened areas, wood decay, rot, and cavities invisible to the naked eye.

Evaluating Tree Hazard Risks

This is also a matter of safety. A tree may appear solid while actually being dangerous because of internal weaknesses. Tree tomography allows us to identify these issues before problems occur, especially near homes, parking lots, or roadways.

Tree tomography also helps us evaluate the structural stability of a tree, which is essential for the safety of nearby buildings, pedestrians, and surrounding infrastructure.

This greatly helps us make better decisions, especially for mature or significant trees that we want to preserve whenever possible.

When Should Tree Tomography Be Used?

Tree tomography is particularly important for safety purposes.

We recommend this preventive inspection service to ensure your tree will not break during strong winds (and also after a major storm), if your tree has suffered mechanical impact damage, or if it begins declining for no apparent reason.

A tree may appear healthy while still presenting a real risk of trunk failure or falling branches. With tomography, we can identify these situations before an accident happens.

Advantages

Tree tomography allows us to analyze the inside of the trunk without damaging it. The tree remains intact during the assessment.

The diagnosis quickly determines whether the tree can be saved, treated, or whether safe tree removal should be considered.

This often helps avoid unnecessary tree removals and allows for better planning of the required treatments, such as tree trimming, structural support, or monitoring, depending on the actual condition of the tree.
