Concrete – Tree root coming through concrete under shed

concrete

A tree root has broken through in the corner of my girlfriend's shed slab. It's under a wooden shelving unit from IKEA and one slat if the shelf has been pried loose by the root.

What can I do about the root? Do I have to move the whole shed? Redo the concrete surface? Or can I somehow deal with the root in place?

Best Answer

You are going to have to dig under that slab, find the root and cut it off. Repair the slab with extra thickness. Pray it goes somewhere else next. She is going to appreciate your effort. Happy Digging. P.
