Zatékáním

Zatékáním is a Czech term that generally refers to the act of something leaking, especially water or another liquid, into a space where it is not intended to be. This can occur in various contexts, from household issues to more complex industrial or environmental problems. The core meaning implies an unwelcome ingress of fluid.

In a domestic setting, zatékáním is commonly used to describe leaks in roofs, walls, or plumbing. A leaky faucet, a damaged pipe, or a hole in the roof can all lead to zatékáním, causing damage to interiors, furniture, and potentially structural components. Addressing zatékáním promptly is crucial to prevent further deterioration and costly repairs.

Beyond homes, zatékáním can also apply to larger-scale situations. For instance, it might describe groundwater seeping into a basement, water entering a tunnel during construction, or even pollutants leaking from a storage tank into the surrounding soil and water. The term's broad application highlights the universal problem of unwanted liquid penetration. The causes of zatékáním are diverse, ranging from material failure and poor construction to natural wear and tear or external damage.
