I'm a little lost....... you mean you're going to take the tree out of the pot, wash all the soil away, and give it fresh soil, right?
That would be a repot, and would be a stress to the tree (not as much as trimming roots or whatnot though).
If it's the right time of year to repot, go for it. If not, look at other options....could you move a *bit* of soil around and see if there's any roots? Can the tree come out of the pot with the soil ball in *one* piece so you can look at the underside for anything scurrying? This would completely depend on how much the roots have filled the pot..... what about laying it on its side and sliding it out of the pot a bit to check the soil?
