        "text": "Water damage restoration is a specialized field that goes far beyond general cleaning. While general cleaning focuses on surface dirt and debris, restoration addresses water extraction, structural drying, dehumidification, sanitation, and often mold prevention or remediation. It involves industrial equipment and scientific drying principles to remove moisture from porous materials like drywall and subflooring. General cleaners lack the expertise and tools to properly mitigate extensive water damage, which can lead to missed moisture, mold growth, and long-term structural problems if not handled correctly by certified professionals.",
