(OP)
I'm looking for a detailed procedure for pressurizing a whole house and and checking for pressure drop (tightness).
Briefly, what I know about it is a fan is installed in the doorway and magnehelics are used to measure drop.
Thanks beforehand.

Turn on fan.
Make smoke using smoke generator of your choice.

Fix leaks.
Repeat if desired.
