Air Conditioner Water Damage

Drip pan overflow

Air conditioning units are susceptible to leaks, and because of this water damage can occur. If you provide the following maintenance tasks periodically then you should be able to prevent water damage:

- Make sure that the drain line is not clogged. One way of clearing a clogged drain line is to use a wet-dry vacuum to suck the debris out of the pipe.

- Make sure your overflow drain pan is not damaged. If there are any rust holes then you will most likely have a leak once it gets filled with water. You may be able to patch the hole with epoxy.

- Make sure that you change your air filter every 1-2 months. If it is clogged and restricts air flow then your coils could freeze, defrost and overflow your drip pan, causing water damage.
