How does water damage happen in an attic without a roof leak?

Two quiet mechanisms: bathroom or dryer vents that terminate in the attic pump gallons of humid air onto cold decking every week, and winter condensation forms when warm house air meets a cold roof deck. Both produce frost, drips, dark decking, and mold that looks exactly like a leak — with shingles in perfect condition.

Does wet attic insulation have to be replaced?

Fiberglass batts that soaked through lose loft and R-value and dry too slowly to beat the mold clock — replacement is standard. Blown cellulose compacts when wet and almost always comes out. Small damp spots on otherwise dry batts can sometimes dry in place with airflow, verified by moisture checks before closing up.
