Posted by Tree Cutting Services Brisbane on 9 Sep 2025

Tree roots could be an important cause of foundation damage, but how can you tell which tree is responsible? It is crucial to determine the source of the problem early on to prevent further damage to your home and to decide on the best option such as tree removal. In this article, we’ll look at the signs that indicate that a tree could be causing damage to your foundation and the steps you can do to fix it.

  • Cracks in the walls or floors
  • Doors or windows that stick to the wall
  • Uneven flooring
  • Leaning chimneys

Why Do Trees Cause Foundation Damage?

  • Tree roots can spread long and deep to search of water and nutrients
  • The roots can get into and weaken the soil around your foundation.
  • The weight of the tree can put stress on foundations
  • Plant trees in a safe distance from your home
  • Think about the size of the tree as well as its potential for growth when planting
  • Prune and remove regularly the dead and diseased trees to lessen the burden on the tree

FAQs:

Do tree roots cause damage to the foundation even though they are not close to the structure?
