A drip from a fire sprinkler head can look minor on the floor while ceiling materials slowly absorb water. Moisture may collect around the head opening, move across a ceiling plane and run down a nearby wall. A stain or warped trim can appear after the leak has spread.
A plumber deals with ordinary plumbing failures, while a sprinkler contractor manages fire protection piping. The extraction team addresses the resulting water damage.
