AC Drain Line Overflow Cleanup in Conroe, TX

In a Conroe summer an air handler can pull more than fifteen gallons of condensate a day out of the air. When the drain line clogs with algae, all of it goes into the ceiling.

What AC Drain Line Overflow Cleanup Involves

Cleanup includes clearing or coordinating repair of the condensate line, removing wet insulation, drying attic framing and ceilings, and treating the biological growth that condensate water carries.

Common Causes in Conroe Homes

  • Algae and sludge clogging the condensate line
  • Rusted or cracked secondary drain pans
  • Disconnected or improperly sloped drain lines
  • Failed float switches that never shut the unit down

Warning Signs

  • Ceiling stain directly under the air handler
  • Water dripping from the emergency overflow pipe
  • Musty smell from supply vents
  • AC running but not cooling well
