Can bamboo damage house foundations? I planted a bamboo tree beside my door and later I realised that the bamboo tree is damaging my house. I had to hire a gardener to cut the roots of the bamboo and it cost me a huge amount of money. Besides bamboo, do tree roots damage house foundations? I will share with you this answer below.

Can tree roots affect house foundations?

Normally, if the house is built strong there is no way tree roots can damage a house foundation. But trees never let go of the opportunity to grow where the concrete is weak. If the surface is solid, impervious things such as pipes, sidewalk, curbs, and roots of the plant can help a tree grow laterally or up and over. Due to cracks moisture can also retain in the surface and this is how  a tree can grow on the foundation.  The crack collects soil and moisture and these cracks can occur due to small tremors or earthquakes. So, if you come across even a small crack in your house you want to cover the damage so avoid a greater damage caused by a plant. 

 

Sealing a crack is easy. You can apply epoxy putty to seal a crack, it won't cost you much. I hope you like my answer on: can bamboo damage house foundations?”
