Water leaking around the base of a high-efficiency (PVC vented) Bryant furnace.

Safety first: Turn off power before working near electrical components. Avoid standing water around the furnace.

• Inspect drain hoses: Check all vinyl hoses from the condensate trap and collector box to the drain. Reconnect any loose hoses and secure with clamps.
• Clean condensate trap: Remove the trap, flush it with warm water, and clear debris. Reinstall, ensuring correct orientation per Bryant diagram.
• Verify slope: Ensure the drain line slopes continuously downward to the floor drain or pump. Eliminate sags that can hold water.
• Check for cracks: Look for cracks in the plastic collector box or trap housing. Replace if leaking.

Persistent leaks may require replacement of the trap assembly or collector box by a technician.
