Damp does not always mean rain entered
Moisture can reach an attic through indoor air leakage or exhaust discharged into the space. A roof leak is another possibility. Record whether dampness follows rainfall, cold weather, or household activity so an inspection can investigate the relevant sources.
Ventilation is an assembly decision
Intake and exhaust need to work together with insulation and air sealing. Simply adding an exhaust vent does not establish that the system is balanced. A roof replacement is an opportunity to review the existing arrangement rather than automatically copying it.
Make safe observations
If an attic is safely accessible, note visible staining, blocked vents, and exhaust duct destinations without stepping off supported surfaces or disturbing wiring. Otherwise, describe the concern and let a qualified professional assess access.
Ask who handles each part
Roofing, insulation, air sealing, and mechanical exhaust may involve separate trades. Ask which items are included in the roofing scope and which need another specialist. New shingles should not be presented as a universal fix for attic moisture.
