        "text": "To extend your deck's structural life, regularly clean it to prevent moisture accumulation and growth of mold or mildew. Apply a quality water sealant or stain every few years to protect the wood. Keep vegetation away from the deck structure to improve airflow. Periodically inspect for loose fasteners, rotting wood, or insect activity, and address any issues promptly to prevent minor problems from becoming major structural concerns.",
