Why Your Furnace Could Be Leaking 

Discovering water beneath your furnace is a homeowner’s worst dream. Is it a furnace problem or plumbing malfunction? It’s hard to say for sure, but Rob's Albertan Service Experts is here with a few HVAC issues that could cause a leaky furnace. 

Condensation 

Standard-efficiency heating equipment should not give off condensation so if your furnace does, it might be that the flue pipe was not sized properly. The hot exhaust could be cooling and condensing inside the pipe, then draining back into your heating equipment and leaking out. 

Clogged Drain 

Usually condensation from a high-efficiency furnace flows out to a floor drain. If there is blockage in the piping or the floor drain, it could cause a leak around your heating system. A seasonal tune-up from a furnace repair expert should help avert this problem from happening. Unfortunately, skipping furnace maintenance could result in a clogged drain, resulting in wall, ceiling, or other damage to the home. 

Humidifier 

This malfunction should be discovered with seasonal heating tune-ups, but if your heating system is leaking water, the humidifier might be leaking inside the heating system. Water leaking into your furnace can cause a lot of damage to the internal elements so it’s best to call your furnace service expert right away if you think this might be your issue.
