Both are common in older housing and they look alike at first, though groundwater usually arrives after rain and along the base of the wall while a plumbing leak keeps going in dry weather and stays near one run. In attached homes a wet patch on your side can also be fed from the other half, which is worth ruling out before anyone starts chasing the foundation.

It depends on the policy and on what caused the failure, and cover for the pipe itself is often handled quite differently from cover for the damage the water did. Let both households notify their own insurers and take the coverage answer from the providers rather than from anyone doing the repair.

The common culprits are a line inside a wall, a length under the basement slab, or the stretch between the meter and where the plumbing branches. A leak inside a party wall regularly surfaces on the neighboring side first, so a word with the household next door is worth having.

Gurgling generally means the drain is dragging air through a trap because the vent is restricted, and in attached houses the vent stack is frequently the same one the other home relies on. A trap that loses its seal also lets sewer gas into the room, which is the reason not to wait it out.

Stack work usually needs a permit from the borough, and the owner of the other half has a practical say as well because the work reaches their side of the wall. Starting with the borough office for Waterford to learn what the address requires keeps a straightforward job from stalling halfway.
