So he looked and agreed with me that all was cool there. Then he suggested a pipe in the attic (which I’d already ruled out), so he went up, looked, and agreed that wasn’t the problem.

> He spent a few hours on the roof and when he finished he said all was good now. I got out my checkbook, but he said I owed nothing. I offered to pay for supplies, but he pointed out (correctly) that I’d probably spent more just on aggravation over dealing with the problem.

Cool.  
Thanks for the update.
