\nIn principle, an old caulking already <\/span>cracked<\/strong>, <\/span>desiccated<\/strong> <\/span>And <\/span>Off<\/strong> <\/span>is the main cause of air infiltration. However, there are also other elements that cause air infiltration in a building. These include the components of doors and windows: frames, weatherstripping, gaskets around the panes. In general, it is the degradation of these components that causes air leaks. <\/p>\n
A <\/span>Defective roof<\/strong> <\/span>or one <\/span>Seal<\/strong> <\/span>The dilapidated siding around brick, aluminum or vinyl siding can also be the source of air infiltration into your home. To find the main cause, it is necessary to proceed by elimination. In other words, all the above-mentioned sources must be checked to determine the source that harbors the leak.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”–et_global_heading_font|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_letter_spacing=”-1px” header_3_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”34px” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”] You will notice the runoff of water through cracks in your walls, doors or windows.

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. <\/p>\n 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.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”–et_global_heading_font|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_letter_spacing=”-1px” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]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. <\/p>\n 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.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”–et_global_heading_font|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_letter_spacing=”-1px” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/calfeutrage-elite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/maison-vue-devant-banniere.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”house-front-view-banner” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]When you caulk your doors, windows, or repair seals on a regular basis, you benefit from a plethora of advantages.
