Dryer vent from hell.

Water stains in the room adjacent to the laundry room
The homeowner was very troubled. 
checked the roof ,its very obvious what is going on
This is a 3 story building not for the average homeowner to tackle from the outside.

a roofers point of view

Oh my! this is not anything new.

Good old maintenance would have been too easy

The basic issue a disconnected dryer vent duct

This is going to be an expensive one

candidate for plywood replacement

The installation of a flexible line would have been enough to prevent this nightmare.
Definitely not a roof issue,very misleading symptoms
