        "text": "Preventing mold growth after a garage flood relies on rapid and thorough drying. Professionals use specialized equipment like industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to remove moisture from affected materials and the air quickly. This process includes identifying and drying hidden pockets of moisture. Additionally, antimicrobial treatments may be applied to surfaces to inhibit mold spore germination. Proper ventilation and maintaining low humidity levels post-restoration are also crucial for long-term prevention.",
