AC Condensate & Drain Line Leaks Jupiter, FL
An air conditioner makes water every day it runs. When its drain clogs or its pan cracks, that water goes into the ceiling or the slab. The system is switched off to stop the water, and the ceiling, closet and floor below the air handler are opened where the overflow reached. A slow overflow can run for weeks before a stain shows.
Wet days later? That is worth a call
Often needed alongside
- Humidity & Moisture Drying
When the outdoor air is wetter than the building, opening windows adds water. Drying means a closed building and conditioned air.
- Slab Leak Water Damage
A line leaking under a concrete floor spreads through the slab before it shows. Lifting flooring or a warm patch is often the first sign.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the ceiling wet above a Jupiter condo's air handler closet off the outdoor walkway?
About one Jupiter home in five is in a building of ten or more units, and many such buildings put each unit's air handler in a closet opening onto an outdoor walkway. Through the louvered door, humid outdoor air reaches the cabinet, and the cold plenum and supply duct above it sweat. The water runs into the closet ceiling. Sealing the cabinet and insulating the plenum stop most of it.
What should a Jupiter seasonal owner do about the irrigation before closing the house?
Check where each zone sprays. About one Jupiter home in seven is held for seasonal use, and a timer left running sprays stucco and soaks the ground at the slab edge on top of every June storm. With the cooling set high inside, the wetted wall dries slowly. Turning heads away from walls, or setting a rain sensor, keeps the summer's rain the only water the house takes.
Where does the rain go after it leaves a Jupiter street?
Much of the town's runoff flows directly into its canals and creeks, the Loxahatchee River and the Intracoastal Waterway, and the town counts the ocean, the inlet and the river among the waters that leave it vulnerable to flooding. Yards that slope toward those waters carry each storm's runoff past the house, and the lowest corner of the lot is where it stands longest.
