        "text": "In the greater Denver metro area and surrounding foothills, homes experience very low indoor humidity alongside seasonal ground shifting. While dry air helps prevent mold behind counter perimeters, structural settling can cause base cabinets to move out of level over time. Heavy stone slabs must sit on a completely flat, rigid surface; otherwise, structural shifts cause stress points that can crack stone seams or break silicone water seals. Professional installers carefully check for level across all cabinet runs and use flexible, high-grade caulking at wall junctions to accommodate normal household expansion.",
