What is one way to remove water coming through the ceiling from upper floors?

Using chutes is one effective method for removing water that has accumulated and is coming through the ceiling from upper floors. Chutes are designed to direct the flow of water away from the affected area, allowing it to travel down to a lower level where it can be safely evacuated from the building. This method minimizes further damage and keeps the area manageable.

Chutes can be constructed from various materials, and their design allows for controlled drainage, helping to keep the surrounding environment stable and reducing the risk of injury to personnel working in the vicinity. This approach is particularly useful in scenarios where a large volume of water needs to be quickly directed away, ensuring an efficient response to water damage situations.

While other methods may be suitable for different situations, they may not be as efficient or effective in rapidly removing significant amounts of water from an upper floor.
