Inspectors Miss Major Issues All the Time—Here’s Why

In this controversial campaign hook, we challenge the myth of the “perfect inspection” by admitting that even seasoned inspectors routinely miss hidden defects through traditional visual checks alone—think buried water leaks, electrical overloads, or insulation gaps that lurk behind walls. But here’s the twist: we spotlight thermal imaging as the game-changer, a tool that “sees” what eyes can’t by detecting temperature anomalies. To fuel debate, here are 10 possible outcomes where thermal imaging could have prevented disaster. Inspecting without the right tools is like going in blindfolded, here’s why LAB’s advanced tech sets us apart.
