A Certified home inspection company that is equipped with thermal imaging cameras and properly trained and certified home inspectors can find problems with a home that a normal home inspection company can not . Some of these problems are
- Moisture penetration through the homes exterior covering, whether the home has brick, stucco or vinyl siding this can be a major issue.
- Improperly installed or deteriorated insulation.
- Water leaks and air leaks around windows and doors that could lead to mold or high utility bills.
- Plumbing leaks inside the home, including leaking pipes, improperly installed toilets, leaking shower pans, and bathtubs
- Uninsulated HVAC ducting that may have not been properly sealed. This can cause condensation dripping in attics and crawlspaces.
- Improperly installed or insufficient insulation in ceilings and walls.

Here is some examples of thermal imaging in use.
| A Plumbing leak in garage ceiling- not visible during typical inspection process. | Plumbing leak indicated by infrared scan (dark blue area). |
| Interior hallway in a newly constructed home appears to be insulated. | Infrared Scan Indicates Missing Insulation. |
| Air conditioning duct work during regular visual inspection. | Infrared scan indicates that cold air is leaking from duct work into attic (dark blue area). |
| Electrical panel during normal inspection process appears to be functioning properly. | Infrared scan of the panel indicates overheated electrical breaker & wire. This is a fire hazard that would have been overlooked during a typical visual inspection. |
| Plumbing leak at shower liner is not noted during typical visual inspection. | Infrared scan indicates that water is leaking from shower under vinyl flooring. |
| Insulated windows appear to be functioning properly. | Infrared scan indicates that heat is escaping through failed thermal seal (noted at lower right side window). |
