maple tree root damage to foundations

Question
Will the root system of a red maple damage a slab foundation planted 7 feet from a house located near a wetland preserve in central Florida?

Answer
Not going to be a problem. Red maples have been used as foundation plantings for some time and have not caused any problems. If this is one of the larger varieties as it grows you may have a problem with the limbs rubbing the house but this can be handled with pruning the limbs back.
