It is often a sump failure, a drain backup, or groundwater pressure after heavy rain. A pro can pinpoint which one.
If the water was clean and extracted quickly, the carpet may be saved with new pad. If it came from a drain backup or outside seepage, it usually should be replaced.
Typically three to seven days. Concrete and block walls hold moisture longer than above-grade spaces, so basements often take more time.
If water reached the burners, controls, or wiring, do not run them until a qualified HVAC tech or plumber inspects them.
Coverage varies by cause. Sump backup often requires an add-on, so check with your agent.
