Can cause serious damage over time…
Ficus or liquid amber?
Not sure. The leaves looked like that of a rubber tree, but I don’t know much about tree types…
yeah, rubber trees also have killer root systems. Up here in the Pac NW, it is cottonwoods. massive surface roots. When you cut one of those big boys down you have as much water as chips coming out of the chainsaw.
Looks like a Sub-Termite Feeder Tube to me, did you “Poke It”…?—
That would be some BIG termites 
Termites are not tolerable for us. They harm our many things. Such as garder, trees, yards etc. So you should kill them for saving you.

When i say inside system companies salespeople etc are friggin incompetent,i mean it. Got MILK? Well…do ya? Bye bye :mrgreen:
John,
What do you mean, I love the inferior basement systems. They never address the problems like roof drainage, grading, exterior waterproofing. Then the installers have no clue about a dedicated circuit for pump and what is a back up?
Trees near houses get in my reports due to the potential of tree root infiltration to below ground drainage.
Right on Mr Macy 
lolol the installers,the salesdorks of inside system bullshtt.
