        "text": "Mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours after a water intrusion event, such as a roof leak. Spores are naturally present in the environment, and once they find a damp organic surface with favorable temperatures, they can rapidly colonize. Addressing the leak and beginning the drying process immediately is crucial to prevent extensive mold growth.",
