My mother's house has two huge trees outside, and their roots have affected the foundations. Now one door doesn't close properly. (This is in rural England, btw.)

It either means you're bringing the potatoes in or it is the reason the basement is leaking. I'm not exactly sure.

I'm thinking they're trees around the house and the roots from the trees are somehow getting through the house

"Nyumba" means house.
"Nyumbani" means "to the house / into the house / in the house / at home", so I would guess that you don't need to add anything to "nyumbani yangu" (= into the house of mine) to say "into my home".

It may not make sense if you live in a city, but it certainly does make sense where there are trees and houses!
