I'm worried that the oak tree grown from an acorn planted by my son 30 years
ago may be too close to my house. It's now as tall as the house and it's 9.5

roots already have reached the house and might the removal of the tree cause
problems?

Just about and possibly. Don't panic about an oak - my mother had a
17th century house with a mature oak 12' away and there were no problems.
