AC leaking water — New York, New York
Water dripping from your air conditioning unit usually means the condensate drain line is clogged, the drip pan is cracked, or the evaporator coils are frozen. Left unaddressed, the leak can damage ceilings, walls, and flooring, and promote mold growth. An HVAC professional can clear the drain, repair the pan, and check refrigerant levels to stop the leak and prevent costly water damage.
