        "text": "For small overflows involving clean water that haven't soaked into porous materials, you might manage it yourself by thoroughly cleaning and drying the area. However, if the water is not clean (e.g., from sewage backup), or if it has saturated carpets, subflooring, or drywall, professional intervention is strongly recommended. Improper cleanup can lead to hidden moisture, bacterial growth, structural damage, and mold issues, which can be more costly and complex to resolve later.",
