    Furnace PVC pipe leaking and overflowing.
    My furnace is in my garage and I noticed water leaking out of my garage door and when I opened the furnace door I saw that the PVC pipe that comes down from my furnace was leaking at a fast rate into my drain. My drain fills up and it seems as though the wter may not be getting flowing. I am not sure where that pipe goes? It looks like into the ground. I have a clear tube also coming out of the furnace but no water is coming out of that. It is coming quickly out of the PVC pipe. Also, it is around 96 degrees Fahrenheit here and the A/C is running constantly during the day. I stuck my dry vac down in the drain and it didn't suck out anything except water. An hour later and it is full again and leaking all over the place.

    Sounds like the drain needs to be cleaned out.
