        "text": "The duration of cleanup and restoration after a dirty water backup depends on the affected area's size, the level of contamination, and the materials involved. Initial water extraction and hazardous material removal can often be completed within hours. However, thorough cleaning, sanitizing, drying, and potential repairs or reconstruction can take several days to weeks. Professionals use specialized equipment to ensure all moisture is removed and microbial growth is prevented. A detailed timeline can only be provided after a complete assessment.",
