Rising outside water entering during heavy rain can send water through doors, foundation openings, vents, or low windows. Flooring, wallboard, insulation, furniture and contents may stay damp beyond the visible pool. Flash flood water can carry soil and debris into cavities that ordinary surface drying cannot reach.
Water coming through a ceiling may begin in an upstairs bathroom. Have the plumbing issue stopped, then get the saturated ceiling and insulation assessed for extraction and drying.

Remove materials that hold unsafe water
