        "text": "You should consider weatherproofing or re-weatherproofing your sliding patio door if you notice drafts, water leaks, increased energy bills, or visible signs of wear on existing seals. Typically, doors should be inspected annually, especially before the rainy season in the Bay Area. If weatherstripping is cracked, brittle, or missing, or if the door no longer closes tightly, it's time to address it. Older homes or recently purchased properties often benefit from an initial assessment to ensure optimal energy efficiency and protection.",
