How can I remove pine tree roots from my yard that is effecting my foundation the trees are not wanted in a wooded area next to my house

I would say it depends on how many trees, how close they are, where your sewer pipes etc are, and how much you are willing to spend. The easiest way is to hire a backhoe to dig a trench right along the foundation (and insulate with foam board while you are at it). You then have a few years to remove the trees before they send out new roots.
I suppose you could dig a narrow trench further out and fill it with concrete, cover with sod, and leave the trees where they are.

Hey thanks joypulv the trees begin about 10 paces from the side of the house the sewer pipes etc. Are in the front of the house I have pics trying to figure out how to send them to this site

We don't need pics so much as feet and where pipes are. Excavating is really your only good options - whether you pay 2 people about $150/hr or rent something like a Bobcat for a day. That's in the US anyway.

Do the trees belong to you? If so have them cut.

To me 10 paces is about 30 feet. Pines don't have root system that large.

What type of pines? White pines have a very shallow root system and yellow pines have a deep tap root.

You might also try "root killer". You can buy a substance at most hardware stores, that will kill roots and stumps. Also, you might drill down into a root, if you can see it, and pour salt into the hole, maybe 3/4 in. in diameter. It will kill the root. This is just a suggestion and will not work if there are too many roots running all over the place. Good luck.
