Our Springfield and East Lane County team respond to water damage emergencies every year in Springfield and during the summer months, some water damage is caused by leaking air conditioning units. According to the Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety (IBHS), some of the causes of air conditioner-related water damage are:

Frozen Evaporator Coils: Air conditioners rely on a refrigeration cycle to cool the air. If the evaporator coils become dirty, airflow is restricted, or there is a refrigerant issue, the coils can freeze. When the unit is turned off, the frozen coils can melt and produce excessive water that the drainage system may not be able to handle, resulting in water leakage and potential water damage.

Ductwork Leaks: In some cases, the ductwork connected to the air conditioner can develop leaks. When cool air passes through these leaks, condensation can form on the surface of the ducts. Over time, this can lead to water accumulation and potential water damage to the surrounding building materials.
