what type of building is it? does it have drain tile?

if your buying like a 3 story townhouse without a basement, even if it has draintile your foundation will be slab on grade, which is essentially one huge slab your house sits on, very little chance that in 5-10 years roots will be strong enough to penetrate a concrete slab

and like lomac said, pushing up sidewalk panels etc isnt a big deal
the ones we are looking at are 2 story townhouses with a basement, range from 20-40 years old, not sure if they have drain tile.
