        "text": "The lifespan of window caulk depends on the type of caulk used and environmental factors. Generally, caulk should be inspected annually and replaced every 5 to 10 years. However, if you notice visible cracks, shrinking, peeling, or a loss of adhesion, it's time to recaulk sooner. Proactive maintenance helps ensure your home remains energy- efficient and protected from moisture.",
