        "text": "Flashing is a critical building material, often made of metal or vinyl, installed around windows to create a waterproof barrier. For water-damaged window replacement, proper flashing directs water away from the window opening and prevents it from penetrating the wall structure. Incorrect or missing flashing is a common cause of water intrusion, so ensuring its correct installation during replacement is essential for long-term protection against future leaks and damage.",
