        "text": "Moisture-resistant drywall is designed to inhibit the growth of mold and mildew, but it cannot entirely prevent it. Its treated core and water-repellent paper facing make it less hospitable for mold spores to grow compared to standard drywall when exposed to moisture. However, if there's a persistent leak, high humidity without proper ventilation, or continuous water saturation, mold can still develop. It acts as a preventive measure, but effective mold prevention also relies on addressing the source of moisture and ensuring adequate ventilation.",
