The Hidden Dangers Of Tree Roots: Fix-it Right Plumbing Offers Expert Solutions To Protect One's Property - Metro - News Channel Nebraska

The humble tree root may seem like a harmless part of the forest ecosystem, but it can pose significant threats to homes and buildings. Tree roots can grow up to 10 feet long and exert immense pressure on surrounding structures, causing damage to foundations, walls, and even chimneys.

Tree root growth is a natural process that occurs when trees absorb water from the soil through their roots. However, as trees age or are damaged, they may not stop growing at their normal rate, leading to overgrowth and potential problems.

What Are Tree Roots Doing to Our Homes?

• Roots can cause foundation damage by pushing up on walls and floors, leading to cracks and shifts.
• They can also compromise the integrity of chimneys and vents, allowing water to enter and causing damage.
• In some cases, tree roots have even been known to break through roofs and crawl spaces, causing costly repairs.
