AC leaking water or noisy in Dubai? Do not wait
A drip from the ceiling, a stain that grows, a rattle or a hum that was not there before. Water above a ceiling gets expensive quickly, so it is worth a look early.
What we measure here: noise dB(A)
Where we look first
- Condensate drain clogged
- Drain line without enough fall
- Cracked drain pan
- Pipes or ducts sweating
To speed things up, send us
- A photo or short video of the problem
- A photo of the label on the unit
- When it started and what has changed
If water is coming through
Switch the unit off, put something under the drip and move anything that can be damaged. A blocked drain keeps overflowing as long as the unit runs. Then send us a photo.
Why it leaks
- a condensate drain clogged with dust and slime, the most common reason
- a drain line laid without enough fall
- a cracked drain pan
- pipes or ducts sweating because their insulation has failed
- a unit that has iced up and melts when it stops
Why it is noisy
Sound usually tells us where to look, so a short video helps. A rattle can be a loose panel or duct; a hum or vibration can come from worn fan bearings or mounts; a whistle is usually air being forced through a blocked filter or a grille that is too small; and a gurgle is often water in a drain with no proper trap.
What we do
We find the source, repair it and test the drain with water before we close the ceiling. We take photos above the ceiling, so you can see what was done without having to climb up there.
What this will not fix
Damage to the ceiling and paint needs its own repair after the leak is stopped. In a rented home, tell your landlord early: who pays usually depends on your contract and on when it was reported.
What may be part of the fix here
Usually no new equipment at all.
How we solve it
The same four steps, for a one-bedroom apartment or a warehouse.
