        "text": "You might be able to dry a small, shallow spill with household fans and dehumidifiers if addressed immediately. However, for large areas, deeply soaked carpet, or if the water has been standing for more than a few hours, professional help is highly recommended. Professionals have industrial-grade equipment for powerful extraction, drying, and dehumidification, which is essential to prevent mold, odors, and structural damage. They also assess the type of water to determine if sanitization is needed.",
