        "text": "Water mitigation focuses on preventing further damage and stabilizing the property immediately after water intrusion. This includes actions like stopping the water source, water extraction, structural drying, and preventing mold growth. Water damage restoration, on the other hand, encompasses the full scope of repairs needed to return the property to its pre-damage condition. This involves rebuilding, replacing damaged materials, and restoring aesthetics after mitigation has been completed. Mitigation is the first critical step, followed by comprehensive restoration.",
