water leak
Pipe's unwanted drip
A water leak is an unwanted escape of water from a pipe, fixture, roof, or container.
The term covers everything from a dripping faucet to a burst main: We found a water leak behind the washing machine.
Water leaks range from minor annoyances to causes of serious structural damage, depending on severity and how long they go undetected.
