The Mystery of Water Leaking in the Furnace: Unraveled!

Have you ever stumbled upon a puddle of water under your furnace and wondered, “Why is there water leaking in the furnace?” You’re not alone. This is a common concern among homeowners, and the reasons can vary.

Plugged Drainage Pipe: One of the primary culprits behind water leakage in furnaces is a plugged drainage pipe. Over time, debris can accumulate in these pipes, causing blockages and leading to water backups. At Vacu-Man Furnace and Duct Cleaning, we prioritize checking this crucial area during our cleaning sessions. A simple cleaning can prevent potential damage and save you from costly repairs.

Low Refrigerant: Another reason for water leakage can be low refrigerant levels. When the refrigerant is low, the evaporator coil might freeze, and when it defrosts, water can leak. Regular maintenance checks can help in identifying and rectifying such issues early on.

Other Mechanical Concerns: Furnaces are complex machines, and water leakage can sometimes be a sign of other underlying mechanical problems. It’s essential to have a professional take a look to ensure the safety and efficiency of your furnace.

With the climate changing and the issues with storms and floods happening almost daily in the world. The worst is when it’s in your basement, directly leaking inside your furnace!
