        "text": "Mold can begin to grow on water damaged drywall within 24 to 48 hours if moisture conditions persist. It thrives in damp, dark environments and feeds on organic materials found in drywall and insulation. The speed of growth depends on factors like temperature, humidity, and the amount of moisture present. Addressing water intrusion immediately is crucial to prevent mold proliferation, which can lead to further damage and potential health concerns.",
