The Basics of Your Furnace: How It Works<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before we get into why your furnace might be leaking, we want to take a brief moment to backtrack. We like to give a quick refresher course on how these systems work because it typically helps individuals understand how this problem can occur.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your furnace is triggered by the internal temperature of your home dipping below the set thermostat temperature. From here, the furnace turns on and begins the heating cycle. This is where the combustion cycle takes place. The combustion process warms up the heat exchange where the flue gasses inside the heat exchanger are released through the exhaust pipe. From here, the warmed air is forced through your home\u2019s vents to you. This is when you get warm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Your Furnace Might Leak Water<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now, let\u2019s talk about a few reasons why your furnace might be leaking. The most common reason that your furnace might be leaking is due to a condensate drain leak. When your heater produces heat, there is a subsequent process of condensation that occurs here as well. The excess condensation is carried away through the condensate drain line. If your drain line is clogged then it can cause your condensate drain to back up and subsequently leak. Don\u2019t think that just because this liquid seems to be water that it\u2019s okay. Water can cause damage on its own <\/span>and <\/span><\/i>it\u2019s disruptive to your heating process. We can help you work through this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
