Why Is My AC Leaking Water? 5 Common Causes: A CleburneHomeowner's Guide

Cleburne, home to Cleburne ISD and Cleburne State Park, mixes a historic downtown square with newer residential growth on the city's edges. Older homes near downtown often have ductwork that wasn't designed for modern high-efficiency HVAC equipment, worth accounting for during any installation.

Cleburne FAQ

Can I just keep emptying the water myself?+

You can in the short term to prevent damage, but that doesn't address why it's happening. A clogged line or failing pump will keep producing the same problem until it's actually fixed, and in the meantime you're at risk of water damage to floors, ceilings, or drywall.

Does a water leak mean my AC is broken?+

Not necessarily in terms of its ability to cool your home, but it does mean something in the condensate system needs attention. Left alone, it can lead to water damage or mold growth, which ends up being a bigger and more expensive problem than the original leak.
