How to prevent air ducts from getting wet due to water leakage*

A common problem that many families and even commercial places are facing nowadays is the air ducts getting wet due to inner water leakage in their air conditioning units. If that is the case with you, you might already have noticed how significantly this wetting of air ducts impacts the overall system’s efficiency.

Here are a few simple tips you can use to ensure that the ducts stay dry and any water leakage is identified well in time.

Firstly, you should repair any water leakages quickly and accurately. You can also call in a professional if you do not know how to do it yourself, but ensure that there is no sign of any water droplets once the repairs have been made.

The next tip is to check whether the drainage of the condensate pan in the system is working properly. If there is anything clogged in the drainage funnel, water may stand for long causing debris to spread all over.

Another thing you might want to try is shutting down your system when you are vacuuming the facility. Do not let the dust get sucked in by your system because it can also clog in the drainage channel of the condensate pan.
