Why Is Your AC Leaking Water?
6 most common causes in Jupiter, FL — ranked by urgency.
Clogged Condensate Drain Line
The #1 cause of AC leaks in Florida. Algae and mold build up in the drain line, causing water to back up and overflow the drain pan. Needs to be flushed immediately.
Frozen Evaporator Coil
When the coil freezes and then thaws, it dumps a large amount of water fast — often more than the drain pan can handle. Usually caused by low refrigerant or restricted airflow.
Cracked or Rusted Drain Pan
Older units develop cracks or rust in the drain pan. Water bypasses the drain entirely and drips directly onto your floor or ceiling.
Low Refrigerant
Low refrigerant causes the coil to freeze. When it thaws, you get a flood. This is a refrigerant leak — it won't fix itself and gets worse over time.
Improper Installation
If the unit isn't level or the drain line wasn't pitched correctly, water won't drain properly. Common in DIY installs or rushed jobs.
Dirty Air Filter
A clogged filter restricts airflow, causing the coil to freeze. When it thaws, water overflows. Check and replace your filter first — it's the easiest fix.
What to Do Right Now
Turn off your AC at the thermostat — running it while leaking causes more damage
Turn off the circuit breaker for the AC unit as a precaution
Place towels or a bucket to catch water and protect your floors/ceiling
Check your air filter — if it's clogged, replace it (this fixes some leaks)
Do NOT pour bleach in the drain line unless you know what you're doing — call us instead
