Airconds naturally remove moisture from the air. Under normal conditions, the condensation flows out through a drainage line. When something interrupts that process, water can leak from the indoor unit.
Typical causes of water leakage
- Blocked drainage pipe or tray.
- Dirty coil causing ice formation and melting overflow.
- Weak airflow from a clogged filter or blower.
- Improper unit levelling during installation.
- Damaged insulation on connecting pipes.
In Malaysia, heavy humidity can make moisture-related aircond issues appear more quickly, especially when maintenance is delayed.
Do not ignore it for too long
Even a small drip can lead to stained walls, damaged ceilings, mould risk, and worsening system performance. A proper service check usually helps identify whether the issue is simple cleaning or a larger repair.
