Default IR home leak imaging

I knew someone who got some used fancy oilfield devices and imaged
houses to find leaks using not only infrared but some pretty fancy
math to compare how the images changed as the temperature changed

much in the decade since.

I have some siding, poynting and roof leaks, whose repair would be a
lot less costly if I could get a cheap imaging analysis.

I don't see how you expect IR devices to find roof leaks on your
house. IR devices are commonly used to find areas of poor thermal
insulation.
