        "text": "Preventing future rotten wood issues after replacement involves controlling moisture. Ensure proper drainage around your foundation, keep gutters clear and in good repair, and direct downspouts away from your home. Regularly inspect and repair any leaky roofs, windows, or plumbing. Proper ventilation in attics, crawl spaces, and bathrooms is also critical to reduce humidity. Applying fresh paint or sealant to exterior wood every few years creates a protective barrier. Addressing these moisture sources promptly is key to long-term prevention.",
