        "text": "Water mitigation focuses on preventing further damage after a water intrusion event. This includes immediate actions like water extraction, structural drying, and preventing mold growth. Water damage restoration, on the other hand, encompasses the entire process from mitigation through to the final repairs and reconstruction needed to return the property to its pre-damage condition. Mitigation is a critical first phase of comprehensive restoration.",
