Electronic Leak Search
Sensitive electronic detectors help us sniff out refrigerant around coils, fittings and valves, narrowing down the leak location quickly before confirming it with bubble solution or other methods.
Cooling and HVAC
AC leak repair in Roswell for refrigerant and water leaks. We find leaks in coils, line sets and drains, then fix them properly. Call (770) 661-0066.
Air conditioners can leak two very different things: refrigerant and water. A refrigerant leak slowly reduces cooling, often with ice on the lines, longer run times and hissing near the equipment. A water leak shows up as puddles near the indoor unit, stained ceilings or a damp closet floor, usually from a clogged condensate drain, a cracked pan or a failed pump. Reliable AC leak repair in Roswell starts with figuring out which kind of leak you have and exactly where it is. Our technicians use electronic detectors, bubble testing, nitrogen pressure tests and careful inspection of drain components. Once the source is confirmed, we repair it properly, whether that means brazing a joint, replacing a service valve core, flushing a drain line or installing a new condensate pump, and we confirm the fix before we leave.
Sensitive electronic detectors help us sniff out refrigerant around coils, fittings and valves, narrowing down the leak location quickly before confirming it with bubble solution or other methods.
For hard-to-find leaks, we recover refrigerant and pressurize the system with nitrogen, then isolate individual sections of the system to pinpoint exactly where the pressure is escaping.
Refrigerant lines rubbing against framing or damaged by landscaping can leak. We repair or replace damaged sections, braze joints properly and reinsulate the suction line afterward.
Leaking Schrader cores, service valves and flare fittings are common and often affordable fixes. We replace faulty cores and caps and tighten or rebuild fittings as needed.
Algae and debris block drain lines during humid Roswell summers. We clear the line, clean the trap, add a cleanout where helpful and test the overflow safety switch.
Rusted drain pans and failed condensate pumps cause water damage quickly. We replace the pan or pump, check drain routing and confirm water flows away from the unit.
Leaks get worse when they are ignored or patched with quick fixes like sealant injections and repeated top-offs. Our technicians locate the actual source, explain what is leaking and why, and recommend a repair that holds up over time. For refrigerant leaks, we follow proper recovery, brazing and evacuation procedures so the system is clean and dry when it is recharged.
We are also realistic about when repair is the right answer. A single leaking fitting is a simple fix, but a coil with widespread corrosion may justify replacement instead. We give you the facts and the costs so you can decide confidently. Homeowners in Roswell, Milton and Alpharetta trust us to protect their homes from water damage and their systems from refrigerant loss.

We determine whether you are losing refrigerant, water or both, check for warning signs like ice, puddles or stains and inspect the indoor and outdoor units carefully.
Using detectors, pressure testing and drain inspection, we locate the exact leak point and explain whether repair or component replacement is the most practical and lasting option.
We complete the repair, recharge or clear drainage as needed, then retest for leaks and run the system to confirm normal pressures, proper drainage and steady cooling.
FAQ
Answers to the questions Roswell customers ask us most. Still unsure? Call (770) 661-0066.
Most indoor water leaks come from a clogged condensate drain line, a cracked or rusted drain pan, a failed condensate pump or a frozen coil melting faster than it can drain. In humid Roswell summers, air conditioners remove a lot of moisture, so even a partial clog can cause overflow within a short time.
Modern residential refrigerants are generally low risk in small amounts, but a leak still harms your system and the environment. Avoid direct contact with escaping refrigerant, since it can cause frostbite, and ventilate the area if you notice a strong chemical smell indoors. The bigger concern is that running a leaking system can damage the compressor.
Sealant products may slow very small leaks temporarily, but they carry real risks. Sealants can clog metering devices, valves and recovery equipment, and some technicians cannot safely service systems that contain them. For a lasting fix, we prefer finding the leak and repairing it directly with proper brazing or component replacement.
The cost depends on where the leak is, how hard it is to reach and what repair it needs. A loose fitting or valve core is usually simple, while coil or line set leaks require more parts, labor and refrigerant. After we locate the leak, we give you an upfront quote and explain any alternatives.
Easy leaks at fittings or valves can be found within the first part of a visit. Small or intermittent leaks hidden inside coils or walls can take longer and may require nitrogen pressure testing. We keep you updated during the search and let you know if additional time or a return visit is needed.
