There are generally two types of technique: a classic one and a modern one. The classic technique boils down to a visual inspection. This consists of comparing the state of the caulking with those first few days. In reality, water seeps into all kinds of faults. As a result, when it infiltrates a wood, for example, it rots it. Moreover, the contours of the windows and doors are very popular paths for the water to go down.
Modern technology is the one used by professionals to detect the presence of water in walls. Indeed, when water is in the walls, it is very difficult to detect it with the help of a visual inspection. Thermographic inspection is currently the most effective and reliable method when it comes to detecting water in walls.

You have the option of choosing between using a candle and making an air detector. Light the candle and then walk its flame to the places you think are likely to let air into your cabin. With each rift, you will notice that the flame will flicker on contact with the air.
The manufacture of an air detector requires an ultra-light sheet of paper. You will find these leaves in gift bags. To make your device, simply cut the sheet into long fringes. To use it, you have to hold it between two fingers and then start the search. You have to go through all the points that are probably defective. This test must be carried out before winter, as this is the right time to carry out this type of test. In the middle of winter, it’s very cold, so it’s difficult to find all the leaks. You can inspect interior corner mouldings, sliding windows, sash windows, spaces around doors, etc.
