AC Water Leakage: Causes & Fixes

Water dripping from a wall-mounted AC is common during heavy use in Mumbai and Thane. The drain line carries condensate outside; algae and dust block it quickly in coastal humidity. You may notice stains on the wall below the indoor unit or pooling on the floor tray.

Start by checking whether the drain hose is kinked or disconnected at the outdoor end. If the indoor coil is iced over, switch off the AC for 30 minutes — melting ice can overflow a partially blocked drain. Do not poke sharp objects into the drain pipe.

A ProFixer technician flushes the drain with safe pressure, verifies tray level, and inspects installation slope. If the leak started after a recent service visit, the drain may have been repositioned incorrectly — a quick correction often fixes it without parts. Book AC repair in your area for same-day help when slots allow.
