Posted by Christchurch Tree Removal on 26 Oct 2025

Tree roots are a major source of foundation damage, but how can you tell whether your tree is at fault? It is crucial to determine the source of the problem earlier to prevent any further damage to your home and to determine the best method of action such as tree removal. We’ll explore the indicators that suggest a tree is threatening your foundation and what you can do to fix it.

What are the signs of Foundation Damage from Trees?

  • Cracks in the walls or floors
  • Door or window that is stuck
  • Uneven flooring
  • Leaning chimneys

Why Do Trees Cause Foundation Damage?

  • Tree roots can grow deep and wide in the search of nutrients and water
  • The roots can penetrate and weaken the soil around your foundation
  • The weight of the tree can put tension on the foundation
  • Plant trees at the right distance from your home
  • Consider the size of the tree and its potential to grow when planting
  • Regularly prune and remove sick or dead branches in order to decrease the weight of the tree.

FAQs:

Can tree roots cause foundation damage even if they are not near the structure?
