In practical terms, harsh freeze–thaw and dense clay near the lake are especially hard on 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.
