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

This is the guide we point Keller homeowners to when this topic comes up, whether the call comes from a home near Bear Creek Park or another part of town.

For Keller Homeowners

Keller homeowners in Tarrant County deal with the same North Texas climate swings as anywhere else in our service area, and this topic tends to surface on the same seasonal schedule here as it does everywhere we work.

Keller, home to its own Keller ISD, has grown substantially over the past two decades, with newer subdivisions surrounding Keller Town Center and Bear Creek Park alongside older, more established neighborhoods. Newer homes here still benefit from a proper Manual J load calculation if a system is ever replaced, since a lot of production-built subdivisions were sized on assumptions rather than an actual calculation.

Keller 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.

Does this apply to homes in Keller specifically?+

Yes. The guidance in this article applies to residential HVAC systems throughout Keller and the rest of our service area. If you want a read on your specific system, call us at (817) 935-8540 or request an estimate and mention you're in Keller.
