        "text": "Yes, absolutely. Any prolonged moisture intrusion, including from a leaking window, creates ideal conditions for mold to grow within 24-48 hours. Mold can develop on damp surfaces like drywall, wood, insulation, and fabrics. If left unaddressed, mold can spread and potentially impact indoor air quality. It’s crucial to address window leaks promptly and ensure proper drying to prevent mold growth, or to remediate it if already present.",
