        "text": "Water damage to baseboards often results from leaks in plumbing behind walls, overflowing sinks or toilets, spills, or issues with exterior drainage that allow water to seep into the home's foundation. Over time, moisture can warp, rot, or discolor the baseboard material, and may lead to mold growth. Identifying the source of the water is crucial before starting any repairs to prevent recurrence, as addressing the leak itself is the first step in a lasting solution.",
