It’s important to identify the source of the issue in the early stages to avoid any further damage to your home and determine the most effective course of action such as tree removal. We’ll look at the signs that indicate a tree could be causing damage to your foundation, and how you can do to fix it.

What are the warning signs of Foundation Damage from Trees?

  • Doors or windows that stick to the wall
  • Uneven flooring

Why do Trees Cause Foundation Damage?

  • Think about the size of the tree and the potential for growth before making your decision to plant
  • Regularly prune and remove sick or dead branches to reduce the weight on the tree
