        "text": "If you are replacing deck boards, it's crucial to inspect the underlying support structure for signs of rot, insect damage, or structural weakness. Look for soft spots, crumbling wood, or excessive movement in joists, beams, and posts. Any visible damage or instability in these components indicates that the support structure also needs repair or replacement to ensure the deck's safety and longevity.",
