        "text": "Mold can begin to grow within 24-48 hours after water damage occurs, especially in damp, dark, and poorly ventilated areas like those affected by an upstairs bathroom leak. Water seeping into ceilings, walls, and flooring creates ideal conditions for mold spores to proliferate. Untreated mold can cause structural damage to your home and may impact indoor air quality. Professional water damage restoration includes thorough drying and, if necessary, mold remediation to prevent or eliminate growth.",
