        "text": "Improper cleanup of a bathtub overflow carries several risks. The most common is mold growth, which can start within 24-48 hours in damp conditions and lead to health issues and property damage. Lingering moisture can also cause structural damage to wood, drywall, and flooring, compromising the integrity of your home.
