        "text": "It is critical to address a rain-induced ceiling leak as quickly as possible, ideally within 24-48 hours. The longer water penetrates your home, the greater the risk of extensive water damage to insulation, drywall, and structural wood. Rapid response also significantly reduces the likelihood of mold developing, which can start growing within 24-48 hours in damp conditions. Prompt repair helps minimize overall damage and restoration costs.",
