Water in my air ducts, we live in a mobile home.?
Question:The air conditioner is working ok. No water pipes are leaking. But we vacumed out 15 gallons of water! Where is the water coming from? And how do we fix it?
Answers:
your drain for the evaporator coil is clogged, take off the access cover to your blower and clean out the drain pan and blow out the drain pipe, then pour some bleach into the pan and your problem will be over.
15 gal is alot of water, two things come to mind.
1 your condisation pump is bad and the water is going into the ducts, easy fix, by a new pump and a new hose for the pump
2 the roof is leeking or the exhaust pipe is leaking into the unit.
most like the first one. If you can find the pump diconnest it from the a/c unit and dump colored ( food color and water ) directly into the pump, if the water goes out of the building you know it is not the pump, if the water goes into the duct the leak is the pump or the hose,
option three I know i said two but if it is very humid out the condisation can build up in the ducts. if that is the case you have to insulate the ducts were the ducts are in the untreated spaces ( like the attic)
