Moisture observations should distinguish visible staining, active wetness, material deterioration and measured conditions. A dry stain at the inspection is not proof that the source is resolved.
Attics and crawlspaces often have limited access. Record areas not entered, the reason, and what could be seen from the accessible boundary. Never imply that concealed or inaccessible areas were evaluated.
Connect the observation to practical next steps. Active moisture may require prompt source correction; historical staining may justify monitoring or further evaluation depending on context.
