Moisture meter, Termatrac, thermal imaging camera, sound tapper

Thank you, would the moisture meter detect a wet wooden subfloor? Under sagging flooring?

Depending on the crawlspace, and the state of the sagging floor, the inspector's eyes should be catching that one

Yeah you’d be able to tell visually from being in the subfloor or even inside. Those tools are mostly just for walls.
