Possible Causes

Clogged condensate trap, Disconnected condensate drain hose, Cracked condensate collector box on Gibson condensing furnace, Improper vent slope causing water backup

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before working around water and electrical components.

Steps to check:

  • Locate condensate system: On high-efficiency Gibson furnaces, find the plastic condensate trap and drain hoses.
  • Clear trap and hoses: Remove the trap and flush it with warm water to remove debris. Blow out hoses with low-pressure air or water.
  • Check connections: Ensure all hoses are firmly attached and routed to a proper drain with continuous downward slope.
  • Inspect collector box: Look for cracks or leaks at the plastic collector box. If damaged, it will need replacement.
