Is your furnace leaking water when the AC is on? It's not furnace season so it shouldn't be the furnace that's leaking all the water.. What you have going on is likely a plugged condensate drain hose or fitting. In this video I show you where it is and how to clean it. Let me know if there's still something wrong and I'll try to help you out! Stay cool ;)

Thank you! This girl just fixed her leaking A/C! There was a blockage in the pvc drain hose. I was able to blow most of it clear but could feel it wasn’t 100%, so I removed it and ran water through it…. A blob of black gunk game out (likely dog hair!) and now it is all clear! NO tools required!

@Samos1300 3 года назад

Tonight, I noticed a puddle of water on the floor at the bottom of my furnace so before freaking out, I turned to RU-vid as I typically do in these situations and found your video. So from one Minnesotan to another, THANK YOU!!!

@logan4215 2 года назад

Are you still getting alot of water? If so I can help.

@franklyalive2307 Месяц назад

Used my shop vac and sucked the blockage out of the PVC drain tube, tons of nasty water caught in the shop vac. Instantly the new condensation started draining so much faster, no back up. This video just saved me hundreds of dollars. Thank you.

@bobbydee1187 3 года назад

62 and I’m still learning. This video was a God send. Fixed my problem in 5 mins. I just saved soooo much money. Thank you very much.

@katiep7819 2 года назад

Hey just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! it was my drain pan and not my condensate pump, all I did was pop off the clean out and the suction unclogged the drain! Condensate pump immediately kicked on and water drained into my washtub, so proud of myself🤣🤣🤣

@nicoletitschler2393 4 года назад

Thank you so much! It's 4th of July weekend and my basement was soaked. I replaced the hose so I knew that wasn't the issue. Exactly as you said would happen, once I got the connector off, water gushed out for a while. The connector was all gunked up. I cleaned it out and now its draining perfectly. I feel like I should send you a check or some cookies at least. Thanks again for taking the time to share this with everyone as you saved me having to not only call a professional, but pay extra on a holiday weekend.

@chaiyanchhay8684 Год назад

Your last tip about the pipe being secured directly, was exactly what I’m dealing with! Thank you so much for the content and information.

@holdemNE1 Год назад

Thank you 4 years later. Easy fix for me. As you mentioned there was a lot of water that drained out once the clog broke free.....even more than a towel would soak up and you sure don't want it running into your furnace. I used a piece of cardboard to make a v-channel ramp for the water to drain away from my furnace and into a bucket.

@petepaulos6085 3 года назад

This was a life saver. There was a blockage in my fitting, causing the water to spill over. I got the clog out and drained all the water then put it back together. Now it seems to be fine. Thank you!

@joselbazcom4221 2 года назад

Thank you very much, Word of Advice TV. I like to challenge myself learning new things. Viewing these type of tutorials keeps me aware of safety and of what I should not do myself. This is a great one. Thanks again.

@4um360 Год назад

Thank you. Great video, straight to the point. Our system has pvc pipes, so we gently tapped on the pipe for a while. Water started going into the overflow reservoir, and the pump took care of it.

@denskarlet Год назад

5 years later blowing out the clog(reversed direction) saves my night. Thanks you!

@adilyamabdrakhmanova8268 2 года назад

Thank you so much. Your advice helped me to save money on something I could do easily. Leakage is stopped.

@darrylspicer9933 2 года назад

Thank you for this! Saved us a lot of money and frustration. Brown gunk (likely from the hard water) clogged up the fitting. Used a metal clothes hanger to break it up. Water is free flowing again. Thanks!

@Healthyhouseontheblock 5 лет назад

This is a great video! I've shared it with a few of my clients who have had a similar issue after living in their home for a while -- very detailed!

@WordofAdviceTV 5 лет назад

Thank you! I appreciate the shares and happy to hear my videos help!

@vitalkarangwa9474 Месяц назад

I can’t thank you enough! I just fixed it and it’s back on! The pvc drain horse was clogged.

@ToddSmithRealEstate 3 года назад

Great video! I followed your steps and, just like you said, the blockage would be inside the fitting at the furnace if it wasn't immediately in the drain line. I stuck my stretched out hanger into the furnace and... just like that... water came started pouring out! Lol I saved the money of calling an AC guy out, and also able to turn my AC back on without fear of it leaking and further warping my laminate hardwood floors! Thanks, man!

@NisaSky 3 года назад

Thank you for the advice. Blew out the hose and running great now!

@yishnir Год назад

Really helpful. Really clear. Thanks for putting this together and sharing your knowledge and experience.

@gilramsey3518 2 года назад

Thank you! This worked. Mine was solid PVC but I took an air compressor and blew it out from the outside end of the drain. I appreciate you posting this.

@biggie2486 2 месяца назад

Today I called my wife while I was at work and I told her to turn on the ac since it was gonna be the first hot day we’ve seen this year 88 degrees so I actually just put a new filter yesterday so she turned it on and I got home about 8 hrs later to find water all around my furnace and sure enough you helped me again!

@laurametheny1008 6 лет назад

@SARAHJOHNSON-bo8xd 3 года назад

Amazing! I blew out the hose and a bunch of crap came out of there😂Then I cleaned out the white thingie and now it’s running like a dream. Thank you so much! Very helpful

@sandysue202 2 года назад

I have to do this tomorrow. It leaked a little beginning the end of last summer and we are supposed to have lots of heat this year and there is that water puddle coming out at the bottom of the combo ac/furnace. My husband died 4 years ago and it has never been cleaned out for the past 12 years that I know of. Maybe much longer as the furnace is 35 years old and the air conditioner is past 20. Yay...thanks for your video. I got the area all cleaned up and the drain pipe all washed out from the 2nd bend on but still a puddle so it's gotta be in one of the two elbows (or in between) that are near where the drain pan is. At least tomorrow will be cooler and the puddle is on a concrete floor! Thanks for the video!!

@flp9383 4 года назад

Great video. This was exactly the problem. Thanks!

@Robert-Jaudon 5 лет назад

Thank you....I am the unlucky one and do not have a hose for the drain....rigid PVC and it was clogged. I used the air compressor as you said and it started flowing. Also took off the cover to the coils and looked at the drain...WOW...Had to spend some time cleaning it up and now the drain is clear. Thank you for the video and suggestions.

@WordofAdviceTV 5 лет назад

@paulfidlin9706 3 года назад

Awesome!! What an amazingly helpful, concise video! Was very worried to find water all over the floor around my furnace (of course on the hottest day of the year) and was not looking forward to the repair bill on this- thank you so much for the tips! Found a bug covered in sludge plugging the plastic connector that connects the condenser drainage pan to the hose- (you weren't kidding about all the water that comes out when it's plugged- glad I had a towel ready for that!). All seems well now. Liked and subscribed- thanks man!!😁

@WordofAdviceTV 3 года назад

Absolutely love hearing stuff like that! Thank you for taking the time to leave the comment and I'm glad you were able to get it fixed. You're the man! 💪 I appreciate the like and subscribe. Stay cool and have one heck of an awesome week!

@TomasLoewy 2 года назад

great video advice (not only this one). considering the situation is in an apartment building and the unit is an inside AC (like a ClimateMaster Tranquility 16, 5 ton). question: How do you keep the drain line clean? sometimes experts (or 'experts'?) recommend a monthly or bi-monthly dosis of either bleach or vinegar to clean the drain line. what do you think? or maybe you have a video about it and i just didn't find it. again: great videos, short, to the point, logical. big help for many i am sure.
