Forensic Investigations
When a tree falls, it makes a sound. Sometimes the underlying issues that led to a tree failure require a more thorough analysis. Whenever our clients need to identify the root cause of an effect, we can help.
Often questions arise months or even years after important events in the life of a tree. RemyMahl uses expert knowledge of different species’ growth characteristics and physical properties to reverse engineer the event in question.
We objectively evaluate facts and evidence to merit qualification. Trees, like all living things, tend to thrive wherever they can, and when they begin to fail, there is usually more to the story. We scrutinize data like past pruning habits and techniques used on the subject tree. We may inquire about past injuries or changes to a tree’s surroundings.
By employing our expert understanding of wood’s response to external influences, the dynamics of plant communities, or the integrity of the tree’s critical root zone, we can help our clients find the answers they seek. This can include determining a tree’s value, identifying negligent tree care practices, or uncovering a pest infestation, or any systemic causes of tree failure.
