What's included
What our furnace leak and condensation repair includes
Every furnace leak repair starts with a full diagnostic, not a guess. You get the source identified, the failed part repaired or replaced, and the system tested through a complete heat cycle before we leave. Here is what is covered on a standard visit, and what we quote separately if the damage goes beyond the leak itself.
Full leak source diagnosis
We inspect the condensate trap, pan, drain line, pump, flue pipes and cabinet seams with an inspection camera, then confirm the pressure switch and inducer with a manometer. You get a clear finding before any repair begins, and the diagnostic fee is waived when you approve the work.
Condensate drain clearing
Clogged traps and sludged drain lines are the most common cause of furnace water leaks in Loveland. We clear the trap, flush the line to the floor drain or pump, and verify flow with a full heat cycle. Most of these repairs finish in under two hours.
Pan, pump and fitting repair
Cracked condensate pans, failed pumps and loose fittings get replaced with parts we carry on the truck. We reseal the pan, set the new pump, and check the float switch so the furnace shuts down safely if the drain ever backs up again.
Flue and vent correction
Flue pipes that slope back toward the furnace dump water into the cabinet. We re-pitch and reseal the venting to code, which fixes leaks that drain work alone will never solve. This is common on long horizontal runs in newer Loveland builds.
Cabinet dry-out and rust treatment
We dry the cabinet, treat surface rust on the heat exchanger and burner box, and check for corrosion on the control board and wiring. If moisture has reached the electronics, we test the board and safety switches before returning the unit to service.
Post-repair heat cycle test
After the repair, we run the furnace through a complete heating cycle and watch the drain for 15 to 20 minutes. You see the cabinet stay dry before we pack up. Workmanship is warrantied, and we leave you with filter and drain maintenance guidance for the season.
Service overview
Furnace Leak Repair Loveland CO: what the job really involves
Furnace Leak Repair Loveland CO is a diagnostic and repair service that traces where water is coming from inside or around your furnace and stops it at the source. On a high-efficiency condensing furnace, that water is normal: the unit pulls roughly one gallon of condensate per hour out of the flue gas and sends it to a floor drain or condensate pump. When the drain trap clogs, the pan cracks, the flue pipe slopes the wrong way or the pump fails, that water ends up on your floor instead. We check the drain assembly, heat exchanger, flue pipes, blower motor and cabinet seams with an inspection camera, then repair or replace the failed part.
Loveland sits at the mouth of the Big Thompson Canyon, and the swing between dry single-digit nights and mild Chinook afternoons is hard on condensing furnaces. We see the same pattern every winter in older homes near Downtown Loveland and Loveland Heights: a frozen condensate line on a cold snap, then a puddle once it thaws. If your furnace is leaking water, the smart move is a furnace water leak repair Loveland call before that moisture reaches the cabinet, the control board or the floor joists. We also handle furnace condensation repair in Loveland, Colorado for newer builds in Centerra, where tight mechanical closets and long horizontal flue runs trap water in low spots.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
How our furnace leak repair process works
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Phone triage
Call 970 489 0849 and describe what you are seeing: puddle size, where it sits, whether the furnace is still heating. We ask about your furnace brand, age and whether it is a condensing model, because that tells us whether we are chasing a condensate issue or a plumbing leak. Most calls get a same-day window.
On-site diagnosis
We pull the cabinet panels, inspect the drain trap, pan, flue pipes and cabinet seams, and run an inspection camera along the condensate line. A multimeter and manometer check the pressure switch and inducer. Expect 30 to 45 minutes to pinpoint the source, and we tell you the finding before any repair starts.
Upfront price
You get one number for the repair, parts and labor included. No hourly surprises, no charge for the diagnosis if you approve the work. If the leak has damaged the heat exchanger or control board, we show you the evidence and quote the larger repair separately so you can decide.
Repair and test
We clear or replace the clogged trap, reseal or swap the condensate pan, re-pitch the flue pipe, replace the pump or repair the failed fitting. Then we run the furnace through a full heat cycle, watch the drain for 15 to 20 minutes and confirm the cabinet stays dry. Most repairs wrap in two to four hours.
Cleanup and walkthrough
We wipe down the cabinet, dry the floor, and show you what failed and why. You get a plain-language rundown of what to watch for, plus filter and drain maintenance tips for the rest of the season. Workmanship is warrantied, and we leave the mechanical closet cleaner than we found it.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use on furnace leaks
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Inspection camera
Lets us see inside the condensate trap, drain line and cabinet seams without cutting into walls or ductwork. We use it to confirm the leak source before quoting the repair.
Manometer
Measures pressure switch readings and inducer draft. A waterlogged or blocked condensate system changes those numbers, so the manometer tells us whether the switch is still safe.
Combustion analyzer
Verifies flue gas readings after any vent or flue pipe correction. If we re-pitch a flue, we confirm combustion is still within spec before we call the job done.
Multimeter
Tests control board voltages, igniter resistance and blower motor amp draw. Water damage often shows up electrically before it shows up visually.
Vacuum gauge
Checks gas valve inlet and manifold pressure on gas furnace repairs. Useful when a leak repair uncovers a gas-side issue at the same time.
Nut driver set and fin comb
Standard cabinet and coil work. The fin comb straightens bent coil fins after we pull panels, so airflow is not restricted by the repair itself.
Use cases
When Loveland homeowners call us for furnace leaks
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Back-pitched flue in a Centerra high-efficiency unit
A three-year-old Carrier condensing furnace was dripping from the flue pipe every heating cycle. The previous company recommended full replacement. The actual problem was a horizontal vent section that sloped back toward the furnace instead of toward the drain. → We re-pitched and resealed the flue to code, then verified combustion with a combustion analyzer. The repair cost a fraction of replacement, and the cabinet has stayed dry for two full heating seasons.
Failed condensate pump in a Mariana Butte rental
A property manager found ceiling stains below an upstairs furnace closet. The condensate pump had failed over a weekend, and water had been dripping through the floor for two days. The furnace was still running, which made the leak worse with every cycle. → We replaced the pump, dried the cabinet, tested the float switch, and photographed the repair for the owner's records. The furnace ran a full heat cycle with no water return, and the ceiling was dried out and repaired the following week.
Problems we solve
Furnace leak problems we solve in Loveland
Most furnace leaks fall into a handful of failure patterns, and each one has a different fix. Here are the problems we see most often on Loveland calls, what happens if you leave them alone, and how we correct them.
Water pooling under the furnace after a cold night
We clear the blocked line, re-pitch the drain run and insulate or heat-trace the section that freezes. On most Loveland calls this is a two-hour repair, and it stops the puddle from returning on the next cold snap.
Furnace leaking water and shutting down on lockout
We clear the trap, dry the pressure switch and test with a manometer. If the switch has failed, we replace it. Most lockout calls resolve the same visit, and we verify normal run times before we leave.
Rust ring and standing water in the cabinet
We find the source, stop it, dry the cabinet and treat the surface rust. If the heat exchanger shows cracks or heavy corrosion, we show you the evidence and quote replacement with a Manual J load calculation so the new unit is sized right.
Condensate pump running constantly or not at all
We test the pump, clear the discharge line and replace the unit if the motor or float has failed. We carry condensate pumps on the truck, so this is a one-visit fix on nearly every call.
Pricing process
What furnace leak repair costs in Loveland
$180 - $1,400 depending on the failed component and any water damage
Failed component
A clogged trap clean-out is the cheapest repair. A failed condensate pump, cracked pan or damaged pressure switch adds parts cost. Heat exchanger or control board damage from long-term moisture is the most expensive outcome and sometimes pushes the job toward replacement.
Access and closet layout
A furnace in an open basement is quick to work on. An upstairs closet in Mariana Butte or a tight mechanical space in an older Downtown Loveland home adds labor time. We tell you upfront if access changes the price.
Flue and vent corrections
Re-pitching and resealing a flue run takes longer than clearing a drain, and it requires combustion testing afterward. It is still far cheaper than replacing a furnace that a back-pitched vent has been dripping into for years.
Customer reviews
What Loveland customers say about our leak repairs
★★★★★
“We came home to a puddle spreading out of the furnace closet. They had a tech out the same afternoon, found a clogged condensate trap and a drain line that had frozen and cracked over the weekend. Two hours later the floor was dry and the furnace was running. He showed me the cracked section before he replaced it, which I appreciated.”
★★★★★
“Our high-efficiency Carrier was leaking from the flue pipe, not the drain, and the first company we called wanted to replace the whole furnace. Loveland FurnaceRepair re-pitched the vent, resealed it and tested through a full cycle. That was in November and the closet has stayed dry all winter. Saved us thousands.”
★★★★★
“I manage several rentals and a failed condensate pump at one of them was soaking the ceiling below. They handled it on a Saturday, replaced the pump, dried the cabinet and sent photos for my records. I have used them on three more units since. Straight answers and no upsell.”
How much does Furnace Leak Repair Loveland CO cost?
Most furnace leak repairs in Loveland run $180 to $450 in 2026, depending on the failed part and how much access the mechanical closet allows. A clogged condensate trap clean-out sits at the low end. A failed condensate pump, cracked pan or flue repair pushes toward the top. Heat exchanger or control board damage from long-term moisture can run $700 to $1,400. You get one upfront number before we start.
Why is my furnace leaking water in Loveland CO?
On a high-efficiency condensing furnace, the top three causes are a clogged condensate trap, a frozen or blocked drain line and a failed condensate pump. Loveland's freeze-thaw swings make the drain line the usual suspect: it ices up on a cold night, then dumps a puddle when it thaws. A cracked pan, a back-pitched flue pipe or a loose cabinet fitting can also be the source. We diagnose it on site in about 30 minutes.
