Common Causes of AC Leaks
Clogged Condensate Drain Line
The most common cause - algae, mold, and debris block the drain, causing water to back up and overflow
Frozen Evaporator Coils
Restricted airflow or low refrigerant causes coils to freeze, then leak water when thawing
Damaged Drain Pan
Rust, cracks, or holes in the drain pan allow water to leak through ceilings
Improper Installation
Incorrect slope or positioning prevents proper drainage
Dirty Air Filter
Restricted airflow from dirty filters can cause coil freezing and leaks
Low Refrigerant
Refrigerant leaks cause pressure drops that lead to coil freezing
Disconnected Drain Line
Loose or disconnected condensate lines allow water to leak freely
Condensate Pump Failure
Broken pumps can't remove water, causing overflow and leaks

AC Leak Repair FAQs
How do I know if my AC is leaking?
Signs include water stains on ceilings or walls near the AC unit, water pooling around the indoor unit, musty odors, reduced cooling performance, or visible water dripping from vents or the unit itself.
Is an AC leak an emergency?
While not always an immediate emergency, AC leaks should be addressed quickly to prevent extensive water damage, mold growth, and structural issues. If you see active leaking or significant water damage, call us right away.
Can I fix an AC leak myself?
Simple tasks like changing air filters can help, but most AC leaks require professional diagnosis and repair. Attempting DIY repairs can void warranties and potentially cause more damage or safety hazards.
How much does AC leak repair cost?
Costs vary depending on the cause and extent of damage. Simple drain line cleaning may cost less, while drain pan replacement or extensive water damage restoration costs more. We provide detailed estimates before beginning work.
How can I prevent AC leaks?
Regular AC maintenance is key - change filters monthly, schedule annual professional maintenance, keep the area around your unit clean, and have drain lines flushed periodically to prevent clogs.
