Here's Wikipedia's take on water oak.

I am not familiar with water oak, but you should be looking at the area right around the base. If there are any exposed roots or cracks in the ground, you should have it removed. Dead branches are a concern too, and should definitely be removed especially if they overhang anything important.

Water Oak is adapted to wet, swampy areas, such as along ponds and stream banks, but can also tolerate other well-drained sites and even heavy, compacted soils. It grows in sandy soils, red clays, and old fields to the borders of swamps, streams, to bottomlands. Due to its ability to grow and reproduce quickly, the water oak is often the most abundant species in a stand of trees. The tree is relatively short-lived compared to other oaks and may live only 60 to 80 years. It does not compete well and does not tolerate even light shade. Water oak is frequently used to restore bottomland hardwood forests on land that was previously cleared for agriculture or pine plantations.
