5 Warning Signs Your Furnace Is Leaking Water

A leaking furnace can cause significant damage to your home if left unaddressed. Here are the key warning signs to watch for:

1. Water Pooling Around the Furnace Base

The most obvious sign is visible water accumulation around your furnace. Even small amounts of water should be investigated immediately.

2. Rust or Corrosion on the Unit

Rust spots or corrosion on your furnace cabinet indicate prolonged moisture exposure, suggesting an ongoing leak.

3. Musty Odors Near the Furnace

A persistent musty smell near your furnace area often indicates water damage or mold growth from a leak.

4. Increased Humidity in Your Home

If your home feels more humid than usual, especially in winter, your furnace may be leaking water into the air.

5. Strange Noises from the Furnace

Gurgling, bubbling, or hissing sounds can indicate water where it shouldn't be in your heating system.
