        "text": "Water mitigation focuses on preventing further damage and stabilizing the property after a water incident. This includes emergency services like water extraction, drying, dehumidification, and mold prevention. Water restoration, conversely, involves rebuilding and repairing the damaged areas to their pre-loss condition, which can include structural repairs, flooring replacement, painting, and other cosmetic finishes. Mitigation happens first to limit loss, followed by restoration to return the property to normal.",
