Will my 17 yr. white pine tree root damage my home if root is inches away from house
by

1 Answer

Answer :

The tree will eventually go thru the wall or damage the house.  I think that you need to consult a professional.  It is the tree VS how much damage will it cause and how much will insurance cover.  You can always plant another tree 50 ft away from your home, walls and septic systems & drain fields.
