Inland homes miss the surge but not the wind — tropical systems shed speed slowly over Florida's flat terrain. Additions from later decades were often tied into the original roof without proper flashing; those seams are where the leaks live.
What it costs in Maitland: reinspection is free from our partners; if the dispute escalates to appraisal or a public adjuster, those are paid from the recovery, not up front.
