        "text": "Signs that your home's exterior walls may need weatherproofing include visible cracks in stucco or siding, peeling paint, water stains on interior walls or ceilings, and efflorescence (white, powdery residue) on masonry. Drafts near windows and doors, or unusually high energy bills, can also indicate compromised insulation and weather resistance. During rainy periods, look for areas where water pools against the foundation or where gutters overflow, suggesting potential water penetration points that need addressing.",
