        "text": "Regular maintenance is key. Ensure your gutters and downspouts are clear and direct water away from the foundation. Inspect your roof annually for damaged or missing shingles. Check windows and doors for worn-out caulk or seals and replace them as needed. Maintain proper grading around your home so that ground slopes away from the foundation. Periodically inspect plumbing for leaks and address them immediately to prevent larger issues.",
