        "text": "To prevent mold after a sink overflow, act quickly to remove all standing water and thoroughly dry the affected area within 24-48 hours. Use fans and dehumidifiers to reduce moisture and improve air circulation. Clean and disinfect all wet surfaces with appropriate cleaners. If water has seeped into porous materials like drywall, carpet padding, or insulation, these may need to be removed and replaced, as they are difficult to dry completely. For significant water damage, professional restoration services are recommended for comprehensive drying and mold prevention.",
