Why Your Furnace Could Be Leaking 

Discovering water around your furnace is a homeowner’s nightmare. Is it a heating and cooling issue or plumbing issue? It’s hard to say for sure, but Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here with a couple HVAC issues that could be the culprit of a leaky furnace. 

Condensation 

Standard-efficiency heating equipment should not produce condensation so if your system does, it could be that the flue pipe was not sized properly. The warm exhaust could be cooling and condensing in the pipe, then flowing back into the furnace and leaking out. 

Clogged Drain 

Usually condensation from a high-efficiency furnace 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 heating equipment. A seasonal tune-up from a furnace repair expert should help prevent this problem from taking place. Unfortunately, lack of furnace maintenance might make you end up with a clogged drain, resulting in wall, ceiling, or other damage to your home. 

Humidifier 

This problem should be caught with seasonal heating tune-ups, but if your heating system is leaking water, the humidifier may be leaking inside the heating equipment. Water leaking into your furnace can cause major damage to the internal elements so it’s important to call your furnace service company immediately if you think this might be your issue.
