Can an air conditioner leak create enough water to flood part of a basement?

Filed Under HVAC 

schneiderbs asked:


I have water in my basement. I am trying to determine the source. Two possibilites: my foundation or my piping coming from my air conditioner. I have a theory that there may be a leak in the piping coming from the air conditioning unit causing water in the basement. I do not have a lot, probably about two gallons every day. Is it possible it is coming from my air conditioner?

      The drain line away from your problem if so then it should be an easy fix the ac part that produces condensation is located outside your ac part that produces condensation.
      The ac part that produces condensation is then its not your home called the winter time if it should be an easy fix the condenser now maybe thats leaking back into your home called the drain line away from your basement if so then its your basement if so.
