The plasterboard ceiling in my apartment gave way due to water infiltration. The upper floor appears to be in good condition; Just above there is a bathroom, and there is also a bedroom with wooden floors (apparently laid on concrete). From what I understand, the floor is concrete, but with a thin layer of wood, which left me a little confused, given that I’m not a construction professional.

I tried to make a representation of the layers, but I don’t know if it makes sense:

[ Piso do quarto (madeira) / Casa de banho (azulejo) ] <- walk on top

[ Betão estrutural ] <- main floor

[ Fina camada de madeira ] <- finishing on concrete?

[ Espaço para teto de pladur ]

[ Teto de pladur do apartamento ] <- gave in here

That said, I don’t know if there is any structural risk. What type of professional should I contact to assess this situation? Any help will be welcome.
