        "text": "Key signs that your grout is failing and might need replacement include visible cracking, crumbling, or missing sections between tiles. Discoloration that doesn't respond to cleaning, such as persistent dark stains, mold, or mildew, also indicates a problem. If the grout feels soft or sandy to the touch, or if you notice tiles becoming loose, these are strong indicators of significant deterioration that warrant professional assessment and likely replacement to prevent further damage.",
