Understand the mechanisms
Infiltration can occur by direct penetration, capillarity, condensation or air movement. Each mechanism requires a different approach.
Locate the source
The visible damage is rarely at the entry point. A specialized investigation is often necessary to locate the actual source.
Document before acting
