Trees and roots grow fast so the repair timeline will be constant not just every 5 or 10 years Roots are the stabilizers of the tree Removing them endangers you and your property However, a falling tree I assume does not have to apply for a permit You can deny these facts but the tree roots will not be deterred
- My Septic drainfield must be filled with roots, what do I do?
Once you pump the tank, and pop the cover on the tank, it may be possible to see with a flashlight if roots have in fact entered your septic tank through joints or otherwise Most probably, you problem is in the field, which is best inspected by finding the distribution box, and determing the elevation of liquid in the box

Cut the roots and install a root barrier 24" depth to keep the roots from growing again under the patio A clean cut on the roots will heal better than a ragged cut If you are cutting large roots - 2-3" in diameter or more- you may damage the tree The further away the cuts are from the tree, the less likely you are to cause damage
