        "text": "Water damage behind a wall can spread surprisingly quickly, often within 24-48 hours. Depending on the source and amount of water, it can saturate insulation, drywall, and wood studs, creating a prime environment for mold growth. The longer a leak goes undetected, the more extensive and costly the damage becomes, affecting structural integrity and indoor air quality. Immediate action is essential to mitigate spread.",
