Most houses have a structural base of Metallic I-Beams, or a wooden structural base. If a strong material such as wood or metal becomes moistened (by water), it weakens it, if wood is weakened, or metals create rust, then the house can be relying on a weak foundation rather than a strong foundation - the foundation it was built on was strong, and after water moistens the structural base, the weak supports cannot hold up the house like it used to be able to, thus the house can have either minor damages or severe damages. It all depends on how much water is absorbed by the structural base.
