A/C Leaking Water Indoors

Water around the indoor unit usually means a clogged drain — fix it before it floods.

Call (209) 216-7240

Symptoms you're seeing

  • Puddle near furnace/air handler in garage or attic
  • Water dripping from ceiling below an attic unit
  • Wet drywall or stained ceiling near HVAC
  • Float switch tripping and shutting off A/C

What's actually causing it

Most likelyClogged condensate drain line (algae buildup)
CommonFrozen evaporator coil melting and overflowing
PossibleCracked drain pan (older systems)
PossibleDisconnected drain line from coil cabinet

What to do right now

  1. 1Shut the A/C off — don't keep running and making it worse
  2. 2Place a bucket or towels under the leak
  3. 3Locate the condensate drain line (white PVC, usually exits the home near the patio)
  4. 4Try a wet/dry vac on the outdoor end of the line to suck out the clog
  5. 5Don't pour bleach in — it damages the pan and connections

When to call us

Same day. Water near electrical components (control boards, blowers) is dangerous and the clog rarely clears on its own.

Estimated cost
$185–$285 to clear the line and verify drainage. Pan replacement: $400–$650.

FAQs

How often should drain lines be cleared?

Annually, during spring tune-up. Tablets help between visits but don't replace a proper flush.

Why is my attic unit leaking?

Attic units almost always have a secondary drain pan with a float switch. If your A/C just shut down on its own, that switch likely tripped — we need to clear and reset.
