        "text": "Yes, water from a toilet leak can absolutely cause mold if not properly addressed. Mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, especially in damp, dark environments like those under flooring or behind walls. Even a small, slow leak can create ideal conditions for mold, leading to health issues and structural damage over time. Proper drying and remediation by professionals are essential to prevent and remove mold growth after a leak.",
