Is Your AC Leaking Water Inside?
Complete Fix Guide by HAIL AC
Top Cause in Saudi Arabia
Clogged Drain Pipeبلاعة مسدودة:
Saudi dust/sand + humidity = hardened sludge & algae blocking the drain pipe → Water backs up and floods your home.
Why common here? Extreme dust + high AC usage = faster clogging.
Other Key Causes
Frozen Evaporator Coil:
Low Freon gas OR dirty air filter → Ice builds up → Floods when melting
Saudi trigger: Overworked AC in 45°C+ heat
Unlevel Indoor Unit:
Improper installation → Water flows AWAY from drain pipe
Cracked Drain Pan:
Age or physical damage → Direct leakage
Emergency Steps (DO THIS FIRST)
TURN OFF AC at mains (prevent water damage!)
Dry flooded areas immediately (save walls/furniture)
Check air filter – Clean if dirty (may be quick fix)
Can You DIY Fix It?
Yes, for:
Cleaning air filter (Do every 2 weeks in summer):
Rinse with water → Dry fully → Reinstall
Simple drain clogs (If pipe accessible outside):
Pour warm water + vinegar mix into drain pipe to dissolve algae
Never attempt:
Disassembling indoor unit (risk electrical shock!)
Fixing Freon leaks (requires certified tech)
Replacing broken parts (special tools needed)
