        "text": "Yes, mold is a common and serious consequence of water damage under laminate flooring. The dark, damp environment created by trapped moisture is ideal for mold growth. It can begin to grow within 24-48 hours and may not be immediately visible. Mold can spread to the subfloor and structural elements, posing health risks and requiring professional remediation. Early drying is essential to prevent it.",
