AC Drain Line Clog in Stockholm, ME

An AC drain line clog in Stockholm, ME shows up as water where it should not be: a stain on the ceiling under an attic air handler, a puddle beside the furnace, or an AC that shuts itself off for no clear reason. Central air pulls gallons of water out of the air on a humid day, and all of it has to leave through a 3/4 inch PVC condensate line.

That line clogs with algae and slime that grows in the dark, damp pipe. Our crew clears it with a wet vac at the outdoor end or with nitrogen pressure from the inside, then flushes it and checks the trap. We also test the float switch or pan sensor that should shut the system down before water overflows. If yours never tripped, we'll find out why.

Attic units need a secondary drain pan under the air handler, and many older installs have a pan that is rusted through. We check it while we're up there.

A clogged drain that tripped the safety switch is a common reason for an AC not turning on. Call (866) 703-1217 when you see water.

Central AC Repair FAQs

Common questions about central AC repair

Questions we hear about AC Drain Line Clog in Stockholm, ME.

Talk to our crew
Why is my central AC running but not cooling the house?
The usual causes are a clogged filter, a dirty outdoor condenser coil, low refrigerant from a leak, or a failed capacitor that has stopped the outdoor unit while the indoor blower keeps running. Our crew measures the temperature split across the indoor coil to narrow it down before we quote anything.
How often should I get an AC tune up?
Once a year, in spring, before the first long stretch of hot weather. In long cooling season states, some homeowners book a second check in late summer. A yearly AC tune up catches weak capacitors, pitted contactors and clogged drain lines while they are still cheap fixes.
Can you just add refrigerant to my AC?
We can, but it rarely makes sense on its own. A central AC system is sealed, so low refrigerant means a leak. Topping it off without fixing the leak means the charge leaks out again. We find the leak, repair it and weigh in the correct charge.
Why does my AC keep tripping the breaker?
Common causes are a compressor struggling to start because of a weak capacitor, a shorted fan motor, a compressor with a winding shorted to ground, or loose and overheated wiring. Resetting the breaker over and over can make it worse. Leave it off and call us.
Why is water leaking from my indoor unit?
Most of the time it is a clogged condensate drain line, a cracked or rusted drain pan, or a frozen coil that is melting. Turn the system off to limit water damage and call us. We clear the line, check the pan and test the safety float switch.
