Albany, NY sits on glacial clay and silt and has a humid continental climate with about 38–42" of precipitation a year. The local water table is variable, higher near the Great Lakes and river valleys, with significant winter freeze–thaw cycling, and older homes with full basements are common upstate. In practical terms, lake-effect moisture, heavy snowmelt and freeze–thaw are hard on older foundations — which is exactly why water & fire damage restoration is a common need here.

Immediately. Mold can begin within 24–48 hours, so professional drying should start the same day to limit the damage and the cost.
Sudden, accidental damage (a burst pipe or storm) is often covered; gradual leaks and flooding usually are not (flooding needs separate coverage). Most restoration firms can bill your insurer directly.
