        "text": "After addressing the water source, drying, and any necessary repairs or mold remediation, the best paint for water-damaged walls typically involves a two-step approach. First, a high-quality, oil-based or shellac-based stain-blocking primer is essential to seal off water stains and prevent them from bleeding through the finish coat. Some primers also offer mold and mildew resistance. Following the primer, a durable, washable, and often mildew-resistant interior latex paint is recommended for the topcoats, especially in areas prone to moisture like bathrooms or kitchens.",
