        "text": "Ignoring damaged window flashing can lead to severe and costly problems for your home. The primary risk is water intrusion, which can cause wood rot in window frames, wall studs, and sheathing, compromising structural integrity.

Additionally, water damage can lead to warped flooring, damaged drywall and paint, and increased energy bills due to compromised insulation. Addressing flashing issues promptly protects your investment and prevents minor repairs from escalating into major renovations.",
