        "text": "Yes, rain leaks significantly increase the risk of mold growth. Mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, thriving in damp, dark environments. If a leak is not promptly addressed and the affected areas thoroughly dried, mold spores will proliferate, potentially causing health issues and further damage to your home's structure. Professional water damage restoration includes comprehensive drying and mold prevention or remediation if necessary.",
