What is "leakage"?
Leakage refers to the unintentional escape or loss of a liquid or gas from a container, pipe, or other sealed system. It can occur when a seal is broken, a pipe is damaged, or a joint is loose, allowing the substance to escape. Leakage is often unwanted and can lead to waste, damage, or safety hazards, especially when it involves water, gas, or chemicals. In some cases, leakage can also cause environmental pollution or increase costs if not addressed. Identifying and repairing leaks is important to prevent further problems.
