In homes, ceiling water usually comes from a roof leak, an attic AC unit or a bathroom above. The ceiling is drained, the cavity dried and the drywall repaired so the room looks normal again.

In commercial buildings, water above drop ceilings soaks tiles and spreads through the plenum. Wet tiles are removed and the space above is dried, with work planned around business hours.
