Mitigation comes first
Source control, water extraction, moving vulnerable contents and beginning drying are examples of steps intended to limit further damage.
Restoration is broader
Restoration can continue after the immediate water is controlled and may include cleaning, material removal, drying verification and repairs.
Why the distinction matters
A property can be successfully mitigated but not yet restored. Understanding that helps set realistic expectations after the emergency stage.
