Why an AC May Be Leaking Water
It’s not uncommon for an AC unit to be covered in a layer of condensation. However, if you see a significant amount of water pooling around this component, it may be a good idea to have it serviced as quickly as possible. Let’s take a closer look at why water may be leaking from your home’s cooling system.
There May Be a Clogged Drain Line
Excess condensation is transported away from the AC unit through a drain pipe. If the drain pipe is clogged, it may cause water to leak from the pipe and into areas of the home where it shouldn’t be. Drain pipes may become clogged because an old or dirty air filter has allowed debris to accumulate inside of it.
If you think that your AC unit is having drainage issues, feel free to contact the folks at Air Express Air Conditioning & Heating servicing Katy and surrounding areas. Our team can inspect, maintain and install air conditioning systems in a timely, professional and affordable manner.
A Faulty Condensate Pump May Be the Cause of Your Problem
An AC unit that is located underground will likely need a pump to help push water away from your home. Condensate pumps may also be installed in properties that have elongated condensate lines regardless of where the cooling system is located. If the pump fails, the excess water will simply take the path of least resistance back toward the main AC unit. In most cases, this component fails because of old age or improper installation.
If your AC unit is not working like it should, give the folks at Air Express Air Conditioning & Heating a call today. In addition to repairing or maintaining cooling systems, our team of trained technicians can also repair a heating system component or seal your home’s ducts. This may help to improve your home’s air quality as well as cut down on heating and cooling costs.
