AC Water Leakage in Tezpur: Why Your Indoor Unit Drips and How to Fix It

Water dripping from the indoor unit is one of the most common AC complaints in Tezpur, especially during the humid monsoon months. It can stain walls, damage furniture and, if ignored, harm the AC itself. Here is why it happens and what to do about it.

Why ACs produce water

As your AC cools the air, it also pulls moisture out of it. In Assam's humid weather that can mean a lot of water every day. This water collects in a tray under the cooling coil and flows outside through a drain pipe. A leak means something is stopping that water from draining properly.

Common causes of AC water leakage

Blocked drain pipe. Dust, algae and sometimes insects build up in the pipe until water backs up into the room. This is the most common cause.

Dirty filters and coil. Restricted airflow can make the coil too cold, so it freezes. When the ice melts, the tray overflows.

Indoor unit not level. If the unit tilts the wrong way, water runs to the side of the tray away from the drain outlet.

Damaged or loose drain pipe. A cracked pipe or one that has slipped off its connection leaks inside the wall or room.

Low gas. Low refrigerant can also cause icing on the coil, which leads to leaks when it melts.

What you can check yourself

• Switch off the AC to prevent further dripping
• Clean the filters
• Look at the drain pipe outside: is water coming out when the AC runs? Is the pipe bent, blocked or lifted higher than the indoor unit?
• Check whether the indoor unit looks tilted

When to call a technician

If cleaning the filters does not help, or you see ice on the coil, book a service. A technician will flush the drain line, clean the tray and coil, check the unit is level and check the gas pressure.

Preventing leaks in the monsoon

• Get the drain line flushed during every service
• Clean filters every two to three weeks in heavy use
• Make sure the drain pipe slopes steadily downward with no loops
