Something is leaking from my Furnace??
Came home and found pools of water in my basement, it surrounds my furnace and water heater.. It seems to me that it is coming from my furnace, could this be? I didn't know water could come from my furnace. How can I fix? I don't know too much about this type of thing, so if you could tell in layman terms would be greatly appreciated.
Another item, I know that a "pump" sits next to my furnace and water heater, I checked this pump to see if there is any water coming from it, there wasn't.
I have vacumed up the water and have a dehumidifier running right now.
Please help>
My furnace is leaking water
Googled my problem and happened upon this thread. My furnace has been putting out water for some time. I've cleaned it up and it comes back. This only happens when the heat is on.
There is no metal grate in the floor-the pipes go into the walls. Any thoughts? Thanks in Advance!
Air conditioning leaks thorugh furnace
I have the same problem with water coming through the furnace.
I bought my house 1.5 years ago and last summer I discover this problem. Used a Home Warranty to get somebody to fix the leak and they said the problem was a problem with cleanliness. The drain was plugged. Tech blew compressed air through the drain pipe and fixed the problem.
Until this summer. Again water is dripping through my 15+ year old Lenox furnace (just had to replace fan and motor again home warranty paid for it) onto the newly repaired fan and motor.
I looked in the Tray or the condenser coils and apart from some rust there does not seem to be any sludge in the tray. I am unable to see the opening of the drain.
I fixed the problem for now by tapping on the one of the many bends in the PVC drain pipe with a screw driver and it started to drain properly.
The drain comes out of the furnace and there is a 90 elbow, the PVC drops 3 inches strait down, another 90 degree elbow turns the pipe to the left for 1.5 inches, then another elbow sending the drain straight up 2.5 inches, with another elbow sending the PVC to the left again for 3 inches before a final elbow sends the water on a angle into the catch basin (mounted on the fresh air intake) and pump to be sent over head to the laundry tub.
Is there any need for all these bends?
