Cleveland, OH sits on glacial till and expansive clay and has a humid continental climate with roughly 38–42" of precipitation a year. The local water table is moderate, and higher in low-lying and riverside neighborhoods, with significant winter freeze–thaw cycling, and a large share of homes have full basements. In practical terms, clay expansion and repeated winter freeze–thaw put steady lateral pressure on basement walls — 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.
