Chattanooga, TN sits on clay over limestone bedrock (karst) and has a humid subtropical climate with about 47" of rain a year. The local water table is variable, since karst bedrock can channel water unpredictably, with mild winter freeze–thaw cycling, and crawl spaces are common and full basements are less so. In practical terms, heavy rainfall and karst drainage make moisture control and encapsulation top priorities — 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.
