        "text": "Bathroom door frames typically rot or split due to trapped steam, persistent high humidity, shower splash, or plumbing leaks near baseboards. Because bathrooms experience repeated moisture cycles, wood absorbs water and swells, causing paint to peel, joints to pull apart, and wood fibers to decay. In many homes, inadequate exhaust ventilation or lack of caulking where the door jamb meets bathroom tile or flooring lets water seep into end-grain wood. Structural settling or loose hinge screws that pull out of moisture-softened studs can also cause jamb splitting and alignment failures.",
