I don't recommend Pro's very often, but I think you should get some opinions. If you did contact a pro they would have probably started drilling holes in the roof and pumping dehumidified air through it. It may have sat too long now for that option to work.

You don't want a new roof and then have to pull it off.
Good points. This post also begs the question of soffit and ridge vents--do you have them?
