If ceiling panels have foam insulation, and if they are glued to the roof frame members(trusses) during original assembly, they will droop down if roof has leaked rainwater.
The ceiling foam usually has shelf paper bonded to it, AND this paper is what is glued to the trusses. Whenever it gets wet, the paper looses it's bond to the foam. I have found that the ruined paper has to be removed in glue area, AND special/specific FOAM glue has to be used. The original type of adhesive will NOT work.
Sorry. I used the word roof, where I should've used ceiling. I corrected it, makes sense now.
