        "text": "Window flashing should ideally be inspected annually, particularly after severe weather events, as part of routine home maintenance. While flashing is designed for longevity, its lifespan can vary depending on material, installation quality, and exposure to elements. In the Bay Area, with its unique climate, diligent inspection is even more important. If no issues are found, flashing can last for many years, often as long as the window itself. However, if signs of wear, damage, or water intrusion are observed, immediate repair or replacement is necessary to prevent structural damage to your home.",
