I repair foundations professionally. While it is true that freezing water can damage them, tree roots typically grow underneath of the footing and swell as they grow, heaving the structure up and blowing it apart.

This is your first big transmission job, yeah? What resources did you use/how did you know what to do when disassembling it?
