Water In The Basement / myLot

Canada

May 29, 2016 9:19am CST

Just went downstairs to do my 30 minutes of walking and good thing that I did. I noticed some water on the floor near the furnace, I wasn't pleased to see that at all. We had a new furnace put in on December 1st, 2015, so what's the problem? I called the furnace company and they said they will be here within 2 hours, that should be before 11:30 this morning. I hope that it is a fast fix as I have other things to do than hang around here and wait.

Its almost 11:30 now, I hope that the furnace guys have been and that you have a fix to the water problem. Would it have anything to do with the a/c unit, you posted that you had it on high the other day......

@marlina I thought so, only because of experience in the very first home we lived in we had that issue. We have our house selling on hold currently.

@Juliaacv I see, I guess you are not sure anymore if you want to move or not.

Yes, you got it right. It was the A/C that was leaking! Fixed at the cost of $203.40. How is your house selling going?

I hope it's still under warranty, and they can figure out what's going on.

@fishtiger58 It could have been a lot worse.

@marlina Glad it's fixed but what a bummer on the cost, I suppose it could have been worse.

Hopefully they can resolve the problem quickly especially since it is a new furnace.

I was wrong, it wasn't the furnace but the air conditioner.

The technician just came and it was something to do with the air conditioning. Fixed at the cost of $203.40. Ouch!

Gosh I wonder what the water could be. My furnace uses fuel oil so if something leaked thats what it would be which would be a worse problem then water though. That is awful that it is leaking something and it is fairly new. I would be very upset.
