What is seeped?

Seeped is the past tense and past participle form of the verb seep. Seep means to flow or leak slowly through porous material or small openings. This can be seen in natural phenomena such as groundwater seeping up through the soil, or in household situations such as a leaky faucet or a wet spot on the ceiling. Seepage can be controlled or prevented with appropriate materials and maintenance. However, in certain cases, seepage can contribute to erosion and instability of soil or buildings.
