KL · Aircond leaking water

In KL's humidity your aircond pulls a lot of water out of the air every night. When the drain can't carry it away, it drips onto your bed, floor or wall. Here's why it happens and how it's fixed.

  • Usually a blocked drain
  • Fixed in one visit
  • Protect your walls

Drain flush prices

Clears the drain tray and pipe. If the coil is dirty too, add a general service - the technician advises on the day.

Why aircond leaks in Malaysian homes

Blocked drain pipe

Dust and slime from the coil wash into the drain and block it. Most common cause.

Sagging or kinked pipe

The drain pipe needs a downhill slope all the way out. Renovation or a loose clip can create a dip where water sits.

Frozen coil

A clogged filter or low gas freezes the coil; when it melts, the tray overflows.

Unit not level

If the indoor unit tilts the wrong way, water runs out of the tray before it reaches the drain.

While you wait for the technician

  • Switch the unit off - it stops making water.
  • Move the bed, laptop or anything valuable away from below the unit.
  • Lay a towel or tray under the drip.
  • Check the drain pipe outlet outside or on the ledge - if it's blocked by leaves or a plant pot, clearing it may solve it.

Leaks cause damage you don't see straight away

Water running down the inside of a wall soaks plaster, lifts paint and grows mould behind wardrobes. In condos it can reach the unit below. A drain flush costs far less than repainting a wall - book it when you first see a drip.
