Extracting and drying the water firefighters used, which soaks floors, walls, and contents while the fire is being put out.
Water removal after a Menifee fire starts the second clock. Firefighters put hundreds of gallons into a structure, and in Southern California heat that water 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 that is 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.
