        "text": "The duration for drying out a floor after a water leak varies significantly based on the amount of water, the types of materials affected, and the humidity levels. Typically, with professional equipment like industrial-strength air movers and dehumidifiers, the drying process can take anywhere from three to five days. More severe leaks involving extensive saturation or difficult-to-dry materials such as hardwood or concrete may require longer. Professionals use moisture meters to ensure all hidden moisture is removed, preventing future issues like mold.",
