        "text": "To prevent future stucco damage, ensure proper drainage around your home by maintaining clear gutters and downspouts that direct water away from the foundation. Regularly inspect your stucco for small cracks and address them promptly before they worsen. Seal any gaps around windows, doors, and utility penetrations to prevent moisture intrusion. Keep landscaping trimmed away from stucco surfaces to allow for proper drying and airflow. Periodic cleaning can also help remove dirt and mildew that can trap moisture against the surface, contributing to deterioration.",
