AC Drain Line Clog in Falmouth, ME

An AC drain line clog in Falmouth, 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 Falmouth, ME.

Talk to our crew
How much does central AC repair cost?
It depends on the part. A capacitor or contactor is a small repair. A refrigerant leak or a compressor is a much bigger one. We diagnose first, then give you the price before any work starts, so you decide with the number in front of you.
Is it worth repairing an older R-22 system?
Sometimes. R-22 has not been produced or imported in the US since 2020, so any recharge uses reclaimed refrigerant at a high price. A small electrical repair on an R-22 unit can still make sense. A major leak or a failed compressor on one usually does not. We'll give you both numbers.
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.
How long does a central AC system usually last?
Many central air systems run 12 to 15 years with regular maintenance. Units near the coast, where salt air corrodes coils, and units in very long cooling seasons often wear out sooner. Age alone is not a reason to replace, but it factors into repair decisions.
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.
