AC Drain Line Clog in Romulus, MI

An AC drain line clog in Romulus, MI 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 Romulus, MI.

Talk to our crew
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.
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.
Why is there ice on my AC lines?
Ice forms when the indoor coil gets too cold, usually from low airflow (dirty filter, dirty coil, weak blower) or low refrigerant charge. Turn cooling off and run the fan to thaw it, then call us. Running a frozen system can damage the compressor.
What should I do before the technician arrives?
Check that the thermostat is set to COOL and below room temperature, check the breaker and the outdoor disconnect, and look at the filter. If there is ice, turn cooling off and run the fan. If there is a burning smell, shut the breaker off and leave it off.
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.
