Boston sits on glacial till and clay with a humid continental climate with about 44–48" of precipitation a year. Heavy precipitation, coastal storms and freeze–thaw stress old foundations. That combination makes water & fire damage restoration a recurring need for Boston homeowners.

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.
