Under normal operating conditions, a healthy residential air conditioner should never leak water inside your house or living spaces. During peak summer humidity, a running AC naturally pulls gallons of moisture out of the air as condensation, but this water should be collected safely in the indoor drain pan and routed smoothly outside through a clear PVC drain pipe. While a steady drip of clear water flowing out of the outdoor exterior drain pipe is completely normal, any indoor water pooling signals a blockage. Verification: Inspect your indoor drain pan and exterior pipe outlet to ensure water drains properly outside.
