The materials used to manufacture doors and windows, the poor condition of the roof or the seals can also cause infiltration.
How to detect water infiltration?
Pour connaître l’origine d’une infiltration d’eau, le premier réflexe est d’inspecter minutieusement les zones suspectes. L’eau s’infiltre un peu partout et rapidement même dans les endroits les plus restreints.
Vous constaterez ainsi le ruissellement de l’eau à travers les fissures dans vos murs, portes ou fenêtres. De grâce, l’eau peut ruisseler de la Rue Dalhousie à l’Avenue de Deauville, mais pas dans vos murs ! Réagissez avant que cela ne cause encore plus de dégâts.
How to detect air infiltration?
This technique is called the wobble test. Air infiltration is concluded when the leaf shakes or when the flame of the candle flickers.
There is also a foolproof method to detect water or air infiltration in your home: thermographic inspection. This method is currently the most reliable. A specific device is used to assess the waterproofing of a house. Its effectiveness has been tested both for prevention and for the search for the causes of infiltration.

Le calfeutrage pourrait se faire par vous-même à condition que vous respectiez la procédure suivante.
La procédure consistera à fermer les issues afin d’éviter toute fuite ou infiltration. Pour mieux réussir le calfeutrage, il va falloir repérer avec précision les zones d’infiltration. Cela permettra d’utiliser le produit adapté au colmatage de chaque endroit atteint.
Les produits indispensables sont entre autres : lamousse polyuréthane, la silicone et les pâtes de calfeutrage professionnelles (et non celles de basse qualité).
