        "text": "Immediately after a sink overflow, turn off the water supply to prevent further damage. If the water source is unclear, locate and turn off your main water shut-off valve. Then, begin removing standing water using towels, buckets, or a wet vacuum if available. Open windows and turn on fans to improve air circulation. Avoid using electrical appliances in wet areas. Contact a professional water damage restoration service promptly, especially if the overflow involves contaminated water or has spread beyond the immediate area, as hidden moisture can lead to mold and structural issues.",
