Attic Condensation or Roof Leak? What to Check First
Timing and location are useful clues, but they do not establish a diagnosis. Investigate the moisture source before treating the project as an ordinary top-up.

Ventilation & Moisture
Moisture needs a source investigation before it becomes an insulation specification. These guides distinguish clues from diagnoses and explain why roof condition, exhaust arrangements, air leakage and ventilation may need separate attention. The launch article compares possible condensation and roof-leak paths without trying to identify a cause from a photograph.
Use the air sealing and ventilation guide to understand the different functions within a conventional attic. If material removal is proposed, the removal page explains how to define its reason and boundaries. Mention an active water concern at the start of an enquiry and share existing reports. A normal top-up should not conceal an unresolved wet area.
