        "text": "Upon discovering water damaged drywall, first, identify and stop the water source to prevent further saturation. Next, if safe to do so, turn off electricity to the affected area. Ventilate the space by opening windows or using fans to aid drying. Remove any wet belongings to prevent secondary damage. Then, contact a professional water damage restoration company promptly. Early action minimizes damage, prevents mold, and streamlines the restoration process.",
