Coming home to find water surrounding your furnace is a homeowner’s worst dream. Is it a furnace issue or plumbing problem? It’s hard to say for sure, but Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing is here with a few HVAC issues that could result in a leaky furnace.
Condensation
A standard-efficiency heating system should not produce condensation so if yours does, it may be that the flue pipe was not sized properly. The heated exhaust could be cooling and condensing within the pipe, then flowing back into your furnace and leaking out.
Clogged Drain
The condensation from a high-efficiency furnace usually flows out to a floor drain. If there is a clog in the line or the floor drain, it could result in a leak around your furnace. A seasonal tune-up from a furnace repair expert should help avert this problem from taking place. Unfortunately, neglecting furnace maintenance could cause a clogged drain, resulting in wood, ceiling, or other damage to your home.
Humidifier
This malfunction should be found with routine HVAC system tune-ups, but if your heating system is leaking water, the humidifier could be leaking inside the furnace. Water leaking into your heating system can cause serious damage to the internal parts so it’s important to call your furnace service expert immediately if you think this could be your issue.
