Hi,
So I was in the kneewall area above my garage and behind the master bath/closets. Here is a pic of the area:
and I noticed this on the sheathing:

Nothing wrong on the outside of the roof. Just strange - looks burned. I am thinking it was on the board when they used it building the roof (1993). Structurally sound. Any other thoughts?

btoye:
That’s a roof leak sir.
Agreed, you can even see the water stains on the rafter. Looks like it may have been leaking intermittently for a while.
You also have a leak in the lower left of photo 2, at the eave.
Dom.

Time to call a roofing contactor. If you wait it will only get worse and cost you more money

Ok then. Looks like a new roof is sooner than I thought. It is original…
