        "text": "Yes, if your basement drywall got wet, you should be concerned about mold growth. Mold can start to grow within 24-48 hours in damp conditions and can spread quickly. It can cause health issues and structural damage. Even if you don't see visible mold, it might be growing behind the walls. It's crucial to thoroughly dry the area and, if water damage was significant or prolonged, have the area inspected for mold and remediated professionally.",
