Water from the air conditioner can drip from both indoor and outdoor units. When the air conditioner operates in cooling mode, condensation forms on the internal heat exchanger, flows into the drainage bath, and goes through the drainage pipe to the street or the sewer. If the drain channel is clogged, the drainage basin fills up, and water leaks onto the walls.
Another option why the indoor unit is leaking is that the drainage from the middle is clogged. In order to remove the blockage, you need to blow out the drainage from the inside of the drainage, for example with a pump.
If blowing air helps, but not for long, and after a while the water drips again, you need to clean the air conditioner. Dust settles everywhere and clogs the device. Blowing alone is not enough - the air conditioner needs professional cleaning.
Also, one of the common causes of indoor unit leakage is poor-quality installation of the air conditioner. Inexperienced or unqualified installers often make mistakes during installation by not maintaining the drainage pipe’s required slope level. To avoid such a situation, ask Prime Air Solutions for help. Our contractors provide a guarantee for the work and materials. Give us a call (619) 655-3355 ASAP!
