Air Conditioner Drip
My a/c drip spout is making a puddle next to my foundation. What kind of repair can I do to prevent this? I don't want it to eventually damage my foundation. Here are some pictures. The puddle is gone for now cause the a/c hasn't been running like it does during the day.
Answer:
The water is fron all the humidity removed from the air inside the house. If you have a basement floor drain you can run the drain line to it (the pipe just ends above the grate and drips in). There really should not be enough water to damage the foundation. My house is one-story with an attic only, no basement. The water drips right on the foundation outside the master-bdrm closet. I plan on clearing out the grass around the a/c unit and putting landscape fabirc down with white rock or pea gravel on top next spring. Will this be ok? Still shouldn't worry about it? It just makes me nervous everytime I see it. Behaviorkelton - I live in GA where termites can be a big problem. I probably won't be in the house once damage might become a problem (say 10yrs down the road), but I still don't want that to happen :) Chefjson - That's a good idea! I could attach a pvc pipe and run it to the ground and along side the a/c under the gravel where it's hidden. Then it won't build up near the foundation. Thank you!
