What is Leaking and Why is It a Problem?
Leaks are when fluids or gases escape from a container, pipe, or system without being intended to. In the context of storage garages, leaks can cause damage to items stored inside, lead to safety hazards, and reduce the overall lifespan of the structure.
Types of Leaks That Can Occur in Storage Garages
- Water leaks due to damaged or corroded pipes, walls, or floors
- Air leaks caused by worn-out seals or gaps in doors, windows, and vents
- Gas leaks from fuel or gas lines
How to Detect Leaks in Storage Garages
To detect leaks, inspect the structure regularly for signs of damage or corrosion. Look for unusual noises, such as hissing sounds when doors are opened, or drips of liquid from the ceiling or walls.
