g'day ian,

they send their roots far and wide looking for moisture but never
heard them doing any structural damage, though in drought times you
don't want any tree taking moisture from the soil around your
foundations. that could cause problems.

now as lovley as the crepes are never disturb their roots or you will
be inundated with sucker growths forever. would suggest if you are
going to remove one of them you would need to poison the tree and make
sure it is totally dead before removal takes place.
