Water is leaking onto my front porch from what believe is coming from our AC. Am I looking at trouble?

Question

We've been in our home for over six years without it occuring to the best of my knowledge. It has been very hot with high humidity. What should I look for?

Answer 1

It's not leaking, technically anyway, its just condensation.  Now, as far as doing any trouble, it depends on what your porch is made of; you are only looking at a problem if your porch is made of unfinished wood, other products like a pvc composite or even wood that has been sealed (with a product like Thompson's Water Seal) are fine to get wet

Answer 2

guess its a window a/c---dont worry its normal

Answer 3

It's probably condensation from the ac unit. No problem.

Answer 4

It depends where it is leaking to,..if it is just going down the roof it is probably ok . but if it is going between the roof and the siding, it could mean wood rot.  is it leaking under the siding?  Check for rot there too.

We had one leak unto our floor one summer(backed into the house because the tilt was wrong)  It warped our floor under the carpeting bad.  We did not notice because a table was over it.  I would do some investigating....
