EHOW says: Stumps A Spreading Problem One reason to remove tree stumps is to prevent the roots underneath from damaging sidewalks and foundations. Roots begin to increase in diameter over time and this expansion will start to crack sidewalks, driveways and other paved surfaces. Tree stump roots can also physically lift paved surfaces, making them more dangerous to maneuver around. Tree stump roots are not strong enough to physically break sewer or water pipes underground. However, if the pipe already has a leak, the water from the leak can speed up the root expansion process, which leads to paved surfaces being penetrated through. When removing a tree stump, always make sure to remove the roots as well to avoid future problems
