    The thought of a weeping willow seemingly near to a house (with drains etc) is worrying.

    Yet another thing to worry about...
    It is not a huge tree and the drains are on the other side of the garden.

    Willow?  Fast-growing is a negative.  Too fast, to weak-wooded.  Evil-smelling dead leaves.   Problems for the future.

    You say it was a stump ... how big?  Was it once a large tree?  If so the roots will still be large.
