I’m In Florida, My Rubber Trees Are 15-20 Feet High. They Are 5 1/2 Feet From My House Will It Damage My Foundation?

I live in Florida I planted six rubber trees 5 feet away from my house for shade they are probably 20 feet high, do I need to worry about the root system? They really seem to be growing fast and furious I have no problem taking them down if it’s damaging.
