        "text": "You should always call a professional for mold damage if the affected area is larger than about 10 square feet, if you suspect mold is hidden behind walls, or if you have experienced significant water damage. Professionals have the necessary equipment to safely contain and remove mold, preventing spores from spreading throughout your home. They can also identify and fix the underlying moisture problem to prevent recurrence. Attempting DIY on larger infestations can expose you to health risks and often leads to incomplete removal.",
