        "text": "You should schedule repairs as soon as the source of the problem is stopped, such as fixing an active plumbing leak or repairing a storm-damaged roof. Leaving compromised drywall, subfloors, or framing in place allows moisture to weaken structural wood and ruin surrounding finishes. Before booking a contractor, ensure the water or structural issue is fully resolved and document visible stains or cracks. A proper inspection will determine whether you only need a surface drywall patch or a larger section of wallboard and insulation removed to prevent hidden rot.",
