        "text": "Professional help is advisable if the leak is significant, has affected more than just the immediate area around the washer, or has been present for an unknown period. Water can seep into subflooring, walls, and baseboards, creating hidden damage and a risk of mold. Restoration professionals have specialized equipment to detect moisture, extract water thoroughly, dry affected areas, and mitigate mold growth. Early intervention can prevent more costly repairs.",
