        "text": "In the Denver metro area, seasonal humidity drops during winter can cause interior wood framing to shrink, creating drywall hairline cracks and sticking doors. Conversely, soil movement on expansive clay soils can shift foundations, causing diagonal drywall tears around door frames. Identifying whether cracks are cosmetic seasonal gaps or indicators of structural shifting helps you decide whether standard flexible caulking and taping will resolve the issue or if deeper framing adjustments are needed.",
