💧 "I've Been Pouring Vinegar Down My A/C Drain Every Month..."
That's one of the first things homeowners tell us when we arrive for a clogged drain line.
The problem?
We're still standing there because the drain line is clogged.
Here in Florida, we clear multiple condensate drain lines every week. By the time we arrive, the blockage usually isn't just algae anymore. We often find biofilm, dust, insulation fibers, pet hair, dirt, and years of buildup inside the drain.
Household products may help with routine maintenance, but once a drain line becomes blocked, it usually needs to be physically cleared with professional equipment.
If your A/C is shutting off, your drain pan is filling with water, or you're seeing water around your indoor unit, don't ignore it. Catching it early can prevent water damage and bigger repairs.
