        "text": "Yes, leaking windows can cause significant secondary damage to your home if not addressed promptly. Continuous water intrusion can lead to wood rot in window frames, sills, and wall studs, compromising structural integrity. It can also promote mold and mildew growth, which affects indoor air quality and can be costly to remediate. Furthermore, water can damage drywall, insulation, flooring, and even electrical systems, leading to more extensive and expensive repairs down the line. Early detection and repair are crucial to prevent these escalating issues.",
