        "text": "Sliding door caulking should ideally be inspected annually, particularly before winter or summer, to check for cracks, peeling, or deterioration. In the Bay Area's varied climate, exposure to sun and coastal moisture can cause caulk to break down over time. While the lifespan varies based on caulk type and exposure, it generally needs replacement every 5 to 10 years, or sooner if visible damage or drafts are present.",
