Extracting and drying the water firefighters used, which soaks floors, walls, and contents while the fire is being put out.
Water removal after an Orange fire starts the second clock. Firefighters put hundreds of gallons into a structure, and Southern California warmth starts a 24 to 48 hour mold clock inside walls and under floors. Extraction, then drying with readings, runs alongside the soot work, not after it. A home cleaned of smoke and left wet has traded one restoration for another, and the documentation should show both clocks being worked from day one.
Firefighting water starts a mold clock of roughly 24 to 48 hours in warm conditions. The fire damage is the visible emergency, but the water sets the deadline: extraction and drying belong in the first scope of work, not a later phase.
