How to AC Drain Line Cleaning

Your air conditioner doesn't just cool air—it removes humidity, producing gallons of condensate water daily in humid climates. This water drains through a PVC line, but algae, mold, and debris can clog it over time. This maintenance task involves locating the drain line access point, flushing it with vinegar to kill algae and mold, and verifying water flows freely. A few minutes of preventive maintenance twice a year avoids the water damage, ceiling stains, and system shutdowns that occur when a clogged line backs up into your home.
