Where Is the Leak, and How Do I Fix It?

When refrigerant is leaking from your air conditioning system, it may leak from the evaporator or condenser coils, or from the refrigerant lines themselves. However, the fact of the matter is that your air conditioner does not actually use water in any part of its operation, so the presence of water surrounding the system is not the result of a “leak,” per se. However, it could be tied to a refrigerant leak. When the refrigerant in your system is low, the evaporator coil’s ability to absorb heat is impeded. This can cause the humidity drawn out of the air to freeze on the coil when it condenses. When that condensation melts, it can give the appearance of a water leak. At this point, you must have your refrigerant leaks located and repaired, and your refrigerant recharged by a trained professional.

Another potential cause of your “leak” is a backed up condensate drain line. This is a less serious problem. When your AC is functioning properly, it drains the humidity that it draws out of the air away from the system and out of your home via its condensate pan and drain line. If the pan is off kilter, or if the drain line is backed up, you may mistake this for a leak.
