What can I do when you have H2O coming out of the bottom of the furnace with the A/C running?

Question

This seems to happen when it is very hot and running all the time. It's a Comfort Air A/C unit and a Bryant Furnace.

Answer 1

The drain is plugged. Try compressed air.

Answer 2

At ten years old the drain line has algae build up in it, use a wet dry vac on the drain line. You should have the evaporator coil looked at because of the age, this will also help back up the line if the coil is dirty. If the coil is freezing in spots because of dirt on the coil this will leak water.

Answer 3

If drain line is clear - Is this a new unit and if so, did it happen with the old unit?  Is this unit sized larger then it used to be?

Answer 4

I agree with both your answers so far they got it right.

Answer 5

You need to look for the drain line and make sure it's open from the point at where it connects to the appliance to the outlet of the same pipe. The drain pipe removes built up condensation from the unit which is perfectly normal for the AC to be producing.

Sometimes it's mold/algae/slime that builds up in the pipe and can be cleared easily by a thin coat hanger followed by pouring a bit of bleach at the end closest to the unit and allowing it to run out the end.

Answer 6

you have a water drain stopped up the water is overflowing into the duct,find the clog..........tom
