How are leaks kept away from ceiling frescoes in churches or other famous buildings?

Asked by food (792points) May 1st, 2012

How do they manage to avoid the frescoes from being damaged from water leaks in the ceiling? It seems that almost everyone has had to deal with ceiling leaks, and it makes one wonder if buildings with paintings on their ceilings are able to avoid having leaks reach their valuable frescoes or they just have to restore pieces of the fresco. Has anyone heard of a fresco that had leaks in it?
