All of this is going to be quite expensive, and I have found no claim for financial help. It seems it was my fault for not cutting the roots when I first noticed the concrete popping up and cracking.
That is the way it looks right now. Maybe Stanage will have a different opinion.

I should appreciate your posting updates in this thread, starflyte1.
I plan, initially, just to have the root cut then wait to see what happens to the part that is under the lanai. As it dries out it may shrink enough to realign the concrete and relay the bricks. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking!
I have not checked my home insurance policy yet, but I do not expect this to be covered.
