Of course, water could damage concrete if we don't take all precautions (including taking the appropriate concrete cover and isolation the concrete members) to prevent water from penetrating the concrete elements and causing corrosion of reinforcing bars which will tend to concrete failure.

Of course, water can damage concrete and cause other problems too. If rain water is collecting for a long time around your foundation it starts entering concrete. You can see a crack when water penetrates then it is the time to call New York City basement water pump out service. They are the experts in cleaning our property damaged by water resources and try to return our possessions in pre-loss condition. They may use dehumidifier and sanitizers for better protection.
