What happens if cabin loses pressure?
Loss of pressure in a plane can come from a hole or leak and results in loss of oxygen. Pilots then need to get the aircraft down to a safe altitude where everyone can breathe normally. Oxygen masks will fall from the plane’s ceiling when the cabin pressure falls below a certain threshold.

How long does it take to fix cabin pressure leak?
Whether that time is seconds or minutes depends on the nature of the leak. Presumably while the pressure is bleeding off the aircraft’s systems will complain about the loss of cabin pressure and give the pilots a chance to address the problem (fix the pressurization system or descend to a safe altitude).
When to look for an airleak when your engine you?
Piston seizures related to air leaks are not just a result of an engine being run with an air-leak, but rather a result of the engine being run at close to maximum output with an air- leak. Where to Look for an Airleak When your engine seizes a piston…do not disassemble it.
How is the cabin pressure maintained inside aircraft?
Air exits the cabin through outflow valves, which are typically at the rear of the pressure vessel. These can be manually or computer controlled and will open and close to regulate how much air leaves the cabin.
How long does it take for cabin pressure to bleed off?
In the case of a non-explosive decompression (say a pressurization system failure) you’ll probably have more time than this from the start of the event to the point where everyone is unconscious: the cabin pressure will take time to bleed off. Whether that time is seconds or minutes depends on the nature of the leak.
