        "text": "Mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours in damp conditions. If your carpet remains wet for an extended period, the likelihood of mold growth significantly increases. Factors like humidity, temperature, and the type of water (e.g., clean vs. contaminated) can influence how rapidly mold develops. Professional restoration services use specialized equipment to dry affected areas thoroughly and treat for potential mold, minimizing health risks and preventing structural damage.",
