Why Your Furnace Could Be Leaking 

Discovering water beneath your furnace is a homeowner’s nightmare. Is it a furnace issue or plumbing problem? It’s hard to confirm without an expert doing an inspection, but Enercare Winnipeg Supply is here with some HVAC issues that could be the culprit of a leaky furnace. 

Condensation 

Standard-efficiency heating equipment should not have condensation so if yours does, it may be that the flue pipe was not sized correctly. The heated exhaust could be cooling and condensing in the pipe, then streaming back into your furnace and leaking out. 

Clogged Drain 

The condensation from a high-efficiency furnace usually flows out to a floor drain. If there is blockage in the piping or the floor drain, it could result in a leak around your furnace. A seasonal tune-up from a furnace repair contractor should help avoid this problem from taking place. Unfortunately, lack of furnace maintenance may cause a clogged drain, resulting in wall, ceiling, or other damage to the home. 

Humidifier 

This problem should be found with routine HVAC system tune-ups, but if your heating equipment is leaking water, the humidifier could be leaking inside the heating equipment. Water leaking into your heating equipment can cause major damage to the internal elements so it’s important to call your furnace service expert as soon as possible if you think this may be your issue.
