HVAC needed?
The Water Heater is leaking at my house. I asked my dad who fixes this and he said HVAC so I guess I'm asking for someone who knows how to fix this leak to come out and fix it for us.
PM me or just leave a message if you all know who to go to for this
Thanks

It looks like from the pic's that you have a clogged drain line. Try to get compressed air down the water drain pipe that is located on the drain pan. Most of the time all the leaking problems happen b/c gunk builds up in the drain pan then flow down the pvc drain tube and cloggs the "pee trap". To prevent this add a cap full of clorox once a month or when you change your a/c filter to the drain pan. This will prevent it from happenning again. Another sign of a clogged drain is..... Go out side of the house where the pvc or drain comes out of the house. Their should be water coming out of it. If not you definetly have a clogged drain.

The unit might be so old that the drain pan is rusted out and has developed a leak.
SENERIO # 3
You have a dirty a/c filter no allowing air flow to pass thru the evaporator coils and now the evap is freezing in to a block of ice and dripping all over the place.
I hope this helps you and saves you money. Hit me back if you need other advise.
