Air Handler leaking...
 

I have Central Air put in 2 years ago, first Winter, no problem...
However, this year, Water is leaking through the air vent.

Air handler is on the Attic (above 2nd floor), and the Condenser unit
is outside of the 1st floor.

When I went up to the Attic, I can tell there are good amount of water
in the duct and under the duct connected to the air handler and the
tubes that are connected to the air handler... How could this happen,
and how do I get rid of this problem...

Thank in advance for your input.

The drain tube is plugged. Should see a white PVC drain tube that drains to
outside or an indoor drain. Unplug it.

This is Turtle.

Art said Clean the condensate drain out and that is just about the only thing
that comes to mine here, but maybe a long shot which is probley not the problem.
You running air conditioning air through uninsulated sheet metal ductwork or no
vapor barrior on the insulation of the sheet metal duct work. Now if this was
the case it should have showed up last year too.

So Clean the condensate drain like Art said and cure it.

Wrong! Try again.

ME: Al, possible causes as follows :

1. Cooling Coil pan is overflowing due to plugged condensate
pipe/fitting.

2. Cooling Coil is not pitched toward its outlet drain and is
overflowing.

3. Cooling Coil condensate could be blowing off of the coil surface and
entering the supply ductwork.

4. Supply duct may be condensing due to lack of / poor insulation.
(reaching dewpoint) .

5. Condensate piping could be leaking due to poor gluing at fitting(s)


6. Cooling Coil could be freezing up due to not enough airflow (very
dirty air filter, blocked supply/return air grilles,etc...) or cooling
system being low on freon this year ; then when the ice melts on the
cooling coil, it drips outside of the cooling coils condensate pan.

Most likely : Numbers 1 and/or 5.

I have no doubt that every time you open your mouth it smells like some
unwashed low-life just uncrossed his legs. I guess
eventually, when science gets to view your remains, the world will discover
how important contraception really was
in the year before your birth. The only thing I've ever gotten from your
posts is proof of your absolute ingorance.

What happened there webtv trailer boy. Run out of your meds and dont
have enough money left to get the refill? Stop spending all your money
on smokes, cable tv and schlitz malt liquor and you just might save up

Go see your doctor because it appears you have way too much time on
your hands.
