Renter called water on basement floor. We have Amana Furnace with "a white plastic well" on the side of the furnace. Water had backed up into that when she ran water in to kitchen sink. Ok - going to call plumber as must be partial blocked. But.... today....
2nd. She turned on furnace this am; she went to basement and water over floor near furnace and the pan she put underneath the white overflow well? had overflowed and she hadn't used the kitchen sink area.
a. We unplugged the humidifier that is on the furnace (can't remember brand but over 7 years old) - had her turn on the furnace and it (overflow well) didn't gush water over.
b. She has also been complaining about excessive high water usage & has checked the toilet and flapper & all seems ok.
Is it possible that the humidifier is some how calling for too much water & the water bill & water on floor when furnace running today related?
Is the furnace humidifier something that is fixable or better to replace entire thing or not? HVAC person fixes? or plumber.
