Why Is My AC Leaking Water?

Water around the indoor AC unit usually comes from the condensate drain system. Left alone, it can damage ceilings, floors, and walls.

Common Causes

  • A clogged condensate drain line.
  • A cracked or disconnected drain pan.
  • A frozen coil melting and overflowing the pan.
  • Improper installation or slope of the drain line.

What to Do

Turn the system off to stop the water flow. A clogged drain line is the most common cause and can often be cleared during a service visit. See AC leaking water and AC drain line problems.
