        "text": "Mold can grow within 24–48 hours, causing respiratory issues and allergic reactions. Structural damage includes weakened floors, walls, and ceilings that may collapse. Electrical hazards from water-contacted wiring can cause fires or shocks. Contaminated water spreads bacteria and pathogens. Long-term moisture leads to rot and permanent material loss. These risks make professional intervention essential. Ignoring water damage is dangerous.",
