Tree roots can be a hidden threat to properties, causing damage to foundations, walls, and even roofs. It's estimated that up to 75% of all foundation problems are caused by tree roots.
But what makes tree roots so damaging? The main culprit is the root system itself, which grows outward from the trunk of the tree and can penetrate underground pipes, causing leaks and water damage.
The Risks of Underlying Damage
Underground pipes can be damaged by tree roots, leading to costly repairs. Leaks can cause water damage, while cracks in walls and foundations can lead to structural issues. In some cases, tree roots can even reach neighboring buildings or underground utilities.
