A homeowner in Dickinson, TX called us after noticing water leaking from their air conditioning unit. Our technician arrived and quickly identified the cause — a backed-up condensate drain line. Over time, algae, debris, and sludge can build up inside the drain line and block proper drainage. When that happens, water has nowhere to go and begins to overflow, often causing damage to the surrounding area.
We thoroughly cleaned and cleared the drain line to restore proper flow. Once the blockage was removed, the unit was draining correctly again and the leak was resolved.
A clogged drain line is one of the most common AC issues we see, especially in the humid Gulf Coast climate. If you notice standing water near your indoor unit or moisture around your air handler, it's worth getting it checked out right away. Catching it early can prevent water damage to your home.
