        "text": "Stucco can crack or fail for several reasons, including foundation movement, seismic activity, improper installation, or moisture intrusion. Extreme temperature fluctuations can cause expansion and contraction, leading to stress cracks. Poor flashing around windows and doors or inadequate drainage can allow water to penetrate, causing stucco to delaminate, crumble, or foster mold growth. Age and lack of maintenance also contribute to stucco deterioration over time.",
