AC Leaking Water Inside Your Home

A leaking AC can ruin drywall, flooring, and ceilings in hours. Humidity in South Florida makes clogged condensate lines one of our most common calls.

Technician using a leak detector on an AC evaporator coil to find the source of a water leak

Water around your air handler usually points to a clogged condensate drain line, a full or cracked drain pan, a frozen coil that is thawing, or a disconnected line. Our high humidity keeps drain lines full of algae year-round, so this is one of the most frequent problems we solve. We clear the blockage, flush the line, and check the pan and float switch so it does not come back next week.

Signs You Need This Service

  • Water pooling around the indoor air handler
  • Ceiling or wall stains under a closet or attic unit
  • The unit shuts off on its own (float safety switch tripping)
  • Musty smell from standing water in the drain pan

How We Handle It

  1. Locate the source: drain line, pan, coil, or connection
  2. Clear and flush the condensate line and treat for algae
  3. Test the float switch and inspect the drain pan
  4. Confirm the leak is stopped and drainage flows freely

Water Leaks - FAQs

Why does my AC keep leaking water?
In South Florida, algae and mold build up inside condensate drain lines because of constant humidity. That clog backs water into the pan and onto your floor. Regular flushing during maintenance prevents most repeat leaks.
Can a water leak damage my home?
Yes. A slow leak can soak drywall, warp flooring, and grow mold within a day or two. Shut the system off to limit damage and call us for a same-day visit.
Will the repair stop it from happening again?
We flush the full line, treat for algae, and verify the float switch and pan. Pairing that with routine maintenance keeps drain lines clear through the wet season.
