A/C Leak in Yorba Linda, CA Home

7/31/2014 (Permalink)

It’s a sweltering summer in Orange County and most people are cranking up their AC.  Recently, a homeowner in Yorba Linda contacted SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea, a flood damage restoration company, because an A/C leak had caused a large puddle of water on his carpet and spots on the drywall in his family room. A flooding A/C unit can be frustrating, a nuisance, and lead to costly property damage repairs.  

Typically you’re A/C unit relies on the air wafting through your home.  It takes your air, dehumidifies it, and turns it into water. Water should go out of the A/C through a piping system. However, you may have a clogged drain line. When this happens water isn’t able to properly flow through the drain and a substance made of water and other particles builds up and clogs your drain.

Another problem may be an issue with the evaporator coil, known as the “A” coil. The A coil is a metal tube that gets cold when your A/C is off. Sometimes the A coil does not maintain a cool temperature. In addition, water might not be running off of it and into a small pan in the internal structure of your A/C like it should.  If any part of the unit gets cracked or rusted then the cooling process can be thrown off.

Whatever the case was, our client in Yorba Linda wanted the flood damage fixed immediately.  If you want to prevent this sort of thing from happening to you, we recommend that you check your A coil regularly and pour a cup of bleach down the drain every couple of months to prevent the buildup of residue.

After a flooding disaster, water damage is inevitable, but SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea specializes in safely removing, transporting, and disposing excess water. Leave the messy, time-consuming, and costly venture to the expert technicians that specialize in flood damage repair in Yorba Linda.
