Leaking thru the exhaust thru the roof?
Yeah kind of what I was thinking, I had a rental where the exhaust would get ice up at the chimney from the hot/cold, then would thaw the ice back down the exhaust through the exchange.
Leaking thru the exhaust thru the roof?
A condensing furnace cools the are exchanges so much heat from the spent combustion gases that the moisture condenses and has to be drained off. Combustion air has moisture in it and this is expanded in the flames to near steam or a vapor. As the air cools off the heat exchanger this vapor returns to a liquid state.
Have you noticed the water the drips out of the exhaust on a cool morning until the catalytic converter gets up to temp....same process.
My 95% furnace has a steady flow of water from the drain line when running. Almost as much as the A/C.
These are condensing furnaces. Could be a drain line issue or more serious than that. Drain looks to be open site so that is probably not the issue. You do need to have this looked into.
Gotcha...You learn something everyday!
Perry, is it possible the water is coming up through the floor, around that pipe? It looks like that is a black-iron pipe going into the concrete. Is it possible it's coming up from around it and then running over to your insulated duct work?
Check your drain line I had the same problem and there were minerals from the condensation in the drain. It is probably in one of the elbows..
It's also possible the pressure relief valve on your water heater is letting water pass. It doesn't look like that copper line is lined up with your floor drain.
I just thought I would post that I have no clue on this matter. Any adevice I could give would be anecdotal at best there it is better to not listen to me on this matter. IANAHVACR
We were looking at the pictures this morning and my coworker things it may actually be the water heater that is leaking down down near the top of that black pipe / support because the foot of that support looks rusted. I'll have to feel around on it and see if it's wet.
I agree. Ask for help here on INGO. I bet money there is someone here willing to help out.Yes. 6 year Whirlpool, similar to this one, is $318 at Lowes. I can't imagine installation being more than a couple hundred through them.
I can't tell the difference between a leaky furnace and a leaky water heater when they're a foot apart... I need more than help. Gas and water... if either leaks, I'm in trouble. I think I'll let the pros deal with it.
Why is there a drip of water on that drain valve, I wonder?
