I just hate even the thought of water disfigure.
That’s the sort of thing that haunts our dreams. I have seen what a leak can do to a home. Not only does it mangle floor, appliances and all that, it also invites mold growth on a substantial time level. Mold remediation is not cheap. This is the main reason that I make sure that our Heating and A/C drip line is never congested up. Where I live, the Heating and A/C is running much of the year in an effort to cool our home. As the Heating and A/C is doing its job there comes with it an amount of condensate. Heating and A/C systems are designed to have that condensate flow outside through a drip line. But, those drip lines can get all congested up with turf, leaves and that kind of stuff. I make sure to wet vac the drip line opening on the outside of the house. This pulls out any stuff that could lead to a condensate back up. A neighbor of mine had a bunch of stuff ruined in his garage due to condensate back up. The drip line for the Heating and A/C gets congested and then the water simply overflows the pan under the air handler. The next thing you know it’s running across the floor and damaging anything like boxes or even worse, electrical stuff. It may seem a bit paranoid but, there is just no way that I will let Heating and A/C condensate ruin anything in our apartment or cause a horrible mold problem. And, it doesn’t take much to prevent such a thing. Just a bit of proactive Heating and A/C maintenance.
