Tests you can run
- Moisture meter map of the front bedroom wall
- Ask exactly when it gets wet
- Look at the cap-to-roof and cap-to-sidewall seams

- Pressure test: windows, door and vents shut, blower in one roof vent, manometer at a few tenths of an inch WC, soapy water on the cap
- Hose nozzle on hard spray, aimed at the cap from the front, one spot at a time
- Pull the ID light above the wet spot and look behind it
- Reseal every seam on the front cap
