I saw one similar where the roofers pulled a combustion vent to re-roof, but sections of the vent in the attic weren’t screwed together, so the vent parted in the attic, dumping moisture-laden products of combustion into the attic during the winter. It looked just like that with ice all over the underside of the sheathing and globs of ice where the roofing nails projected down through the sheathing.

Was there any other source for the moisture (such as bathroom fan or poor air sealing). I find it hard to believe there is that much moisture accumulation just from poor venting.

WOW. That’s a mess. Good find.
