A bathroom leak, attic intrusion, or pipe break above can saturate a ceiling before water drips into the room. Ceiling board and insulation may hold a heavy volume directly overhead. Cases include water through ceiling, ceiling leak from bathroom above, and sagging wet ceiling.
Flooding can involve several trades at once. The extraction crew focuses on the water, wet materials and drying records while the source is corrected.
