AC Repair
An AC leaking water in Parker, CO is almost always a drainage problem. As your air conditioner cools, it pulls moisture from the air. That water should run down a drain line. When the path is blocked, it shows up on the floor, in the ceiling, or around the furnace.

✓
Clogged drain line. Algae and dust form a slimy plug in the condensate line.
✓
Cracked or rusted drain pan. Older pans under the coil can rust through.
✓
Float switch. If it fails, the AC keeps running while water overflows.
✓
Failed condensate pump. Basements without a floor drain rely on a small pump.
✓
Frozen coil. Melting ice can overwhelm the pan.
✓
Turn the AC off if water is spreading.
✓
Check the condensate pump. If it is full and quiet, it may have failed.
✓
Look at the end of the drain line outside or at the floor drain for a slow drip or a blockage.
✓
Replace the filter and look for ice on the indoor coil or lines.
If water is dripping from a ceiling, the unit is likely in the attic and the pan has overflowed. Turn the system off right away and catch the water. Ceiling damage spreads quickly.
Call if the leak returns, if the pump is not working, or if water reaches a ceiling or finished basement. Many Parker, Colorado homes have the indoor coil on top of the furnace in a finished basement, so leaks often go unnoticed until carpet is soaked.
