AC Condensate & Drain Line Leaks Spring Hill, 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.

- 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
Can rain get into a Spring Hill septic tank?
It can. Where a tank's lid or riser sits at or below the level of the lawn, or the seal around it has cracked, rain running across the yard flows straight into the tank. In July, the wettest month, that can fill the tank faster than the drain field empties it, and the drains in the house slow down even when little water is being used. A lid that sits above the grass keeps runoff out.
Where should the downspouts go on a Spring Hill house with a septic system?
Away from the drain field. Some 28,950 Spring Hill homes have septic systems on record, and a downspout emptying onto or beside the field adds a whole roof's worth of rain to the ground the field relies on to take the household's water. Turning the downspouts toward another part of the yard leaves the field with only the rain that falls on it.
Is Spring Hill moving from septic systems to sewer?
Hernando County has studied the feasibility of converting about 30,000 septic systems in 19 districts of the Spring Hill area to central sewer, and its plans list districts of several hundred systems each for conversion. Until a district is connected, each home's tank and drain field still carry its household water, and keeping rain out of both matters most in the wettest months.
