The line that carries that water away is narrow, and it runs slightly downhill to a drain. Algae, dust and sludge build up in it over a season until it stops. Once it stops, the pan fills, and the water leaves the only way it can — straight down through whatever is underneath.
What to check yourself first
Worth five minutes before you call anybody. Sometimes it's the whole problem, and when it isn't, you've told us something useful.
- Shut the system off so it stops making more water.
- Find the drain pan — if it's full, the line is stopped up.
- Check for water on drywall or ceiling below the unit.
Call before it gets into the ceiling. A clogged drain line is a cheap fix; a stained ceiling is not.
