closed: Resolved #173045

Other:

Other: The tree that is planted near our driveway has roots growing extremely close to the house, sewer, and ATT electrical boxes. We were planting plants today and noticed there is a large root next to out driveway and house. The roots have already caused the sidewalk to raise and crack and our driveway is already being lifted. More importantly, thick roots growing next to out house. We would like the current tree cut down to stop any further damage, especially to the structure of the house, driveway, and sewer. We are completely fine to have a different smaller tree planted in its place. Please advise as we recently had plumbing issues and wouldn't want this to get any worse. I have more photos, however, I can only upload 1. Thank you in advance.

Examined trees at property. Trees do not currently warrant removal. Tree roots are opportunistic and will not actively break water/sewer lines, instead will seek out existing cracks or loose connections in lines.
