The Annoyance of Indoor AC Water Leaks
Water dripping from your indoor split AC can damage paint, wallpapers, and wooden floors. It is usually caused by condensation failing to drain properly through the dedicated line.
Top Causes & Solutions
- Clogged Condensate Drain: Dust mixing with water forms slime that blocks the flexible PVC pipe. Flush it with water or vacuum it out.
- Dirty Air Filters causing Coil Ice: Restricted airflow freezes the evaporator coils. Once turned off, the ice melts and overflows the pan.
- Improper Leveling during Install: The indoor unit must tilt slightly toward the drain hole to allow gravity drainage.
