Basement Furnace Leaking Water Before a Home Sale in Apex
What we found and did
During a realtor inspection of a 2021 system in the 27523 area, Mario found that the unit suffered from a poor installation: the drain line lacked a breather and was forcing air into the condensation pump, which had compromised the pump and begun filling the drain pan with water, while the inducer motor had a bad seal causing water leaks and the flue pipe was also leaking water. He also found multiple air leaks from poor sealing, missing insulation on the supply duct Y-connection, a failed Zone 2 damper that was not opening, an unstrapped unit sitting unlevel, a blower wheel needing cleaning, damaged suction lineset insulation, improperly strapped wire, and a failed UV light, with a RemeHalo LED recommended for growth issues in the plenum. Mario checked both thermostats, the filters, voltage, blower and inducer amps, the inducer capacitor, flame sensor, spark igniter, gas pressures, and the outdoor unit's compressor amps, fan amps, capacitor, pressures, and coil. Because of the extensive repairs needed, he included a full unit replacement option alongside the repair list.
Why quality system inspections matters in Apex
Summer Heat Stress
Apex's hot, humid summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F put extra strain on AC systems, requiring more frequent maintenance to handle constant use and moisture.
Seasonal Demands
The Triangle's seasonal temperature swings mean HVAC systems must efficiently handle both heating in winter and cooling in summer, with proper tune-ups before each season.
Humidity Management
High humidity levels in Apex cause condensation issues and can lead to mold growth in ductwork if systems aren't properly maintained and sized.
Local Compliance
Local building codes and HOA requirements in Apex neighborhoods require specific permits for HVAC installations and replacements to ensure compliance.

System Inspections in Apex: questions answered
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Apex.
How often should I have my HVAC system inspected?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once per year. Ideally, have your heating system checked in fall and your cooling system checked in spring, before each season of heavy use.
What is the difference between an inspection and a tune-up?
An inspection is a diagnostic evaluation that identifies problems and rates system health. A tune-up includes the inspection plus hands-on maintenance like cleaning, lubricating, and adjusting components. We offer both.
Can an inspection help me decide whether to repair or replace my system?
Yes. Our inspection report includes an efficiency rating and remaining useful life estimate, giving you the data you need to make an informed repair-vs-replace decision.
Do you inspect ductwork as part of a system inspection?
Yes. We measure static pressure, check accessible duct connections for leaks, and evaluate overall duct design. For a full duct assessment, we also offer dedicated ductwork inspections with airflow testing.
Will the inspection disrupt my home?
No. A standard HVAC inspection is non-invasive and typically completed in 60 to 90 minutes. We work cleanly and will not disassemble anything without discussing it with you first.
