Have you noticed that the small puddle of water around your furnace has started to get much larger? Well, anytime you see your furnace leaking, it’s time to take some action. Here are Patterson’s pointers for spotting and stopping a furnace leak.

Humidifier leaks in Charlotte, NC

Humidifiers protect Charlotte homes from the dry air of winter. Without the proper care, however, a humidifier can actually lead to water leaking. As the humidifier undergoes intense use during winter, its components eventually break down. This can lead to dirty filters, cracked pipes and clogged drains, all of which may result in a large water leak.

High efficiency HVAC system condensation

If you have a high efficiency furnace or heating system, you can rely on efficient, affordable heat all winter long. Unfortunately, this also means you’ll be familiar with condensation. Condensation is normal and will cause a great deal of moisture to accumulate in and around your heating system, ultimately draining out of your home through the white PVC pipe attached to the unit. Nonetheless, a clogged drain or cracked pipe will cause that water to leak and pool near the heating system.
