Possible Causes
Incorrect flue slope, Loose flue joints, Cracked condensate trap, Blocked condensate outlet
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Condensate is mildly acidic. Wear gloves and eye protection.
- Check flue slope: Ensure the horizontal flue sections slope slightly back towards the furnace so condensate returns to the trap.
- Inspect joints: Examine all visible flue joints for signs of water staining. Reseat or replace seals as needed.
- Examine condensate trap: Remove and inspect the trap for cracks or poor seals. Replace if damaged.
- Clear outlet: Ensure the condensate discharge pipe to the drain is clear and properly supported.
