i live in a HMO in the UK and have this exact problem. our next door neighbor, has a tree right against the property (im in a terraced house) right on the property border to ours. and the roots have grown up through the foundations. we have a toilet next to our front door and now can't close the door to it or the fire door to the kitchen because the skirting board has soaked up this water causing it to swell. and this morning when walking half dead to get my caffeine fix, as i walked on one of the tiles, water and air, for lack of a better word, squelched out. the house i live in was only built 15 years ago. the tree is probably 10 years old trees next to your property are a serious problem, especially growing up the side of them

The biggest problems are the sewer pipe lines and the storm water pipes. The tree roots they fallow the backfilled trenches and get to the foundations. Unfortunately all the old houses are built without concrete path all around the houses. So there is always bit of water gets under footings. Engineers do not recommend any trees near foundations.

i second that, neighbor has a tree growing up the side of the house, a house that was built 15 years ago, and now we have serious problems

[@gracenguyen8888]

Big old trees close to your houses, they do not only damage your houses and garages’ floors, but they are places for snakes, hidden cameras, and hiding intruders!

[@matthewbaker2573]

don't have to big and old. the one outside my house that has caused problems is less than 10 years old. the property im in was only built 15 years ago

[@elli0tbriggs]

So if you remove the tree, wouldn't that cause the roots to decay and cause air pockets under the foundation?

[@matthewbaker2573]

no, they eventually turn into soil over time while natural erosion over time fills the gaps
