I just don’t like even the thought of water injure. 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 injure floor, appliances and all that, it also invites mold growth on a large time level. Mold remediation is not cheap. This is the main reason that I make sure that our HVAC drip line is never clogged up. Where I live, the HVAC is running much of the year in an effort to cool our home. As the HVAC is doing its task there comes with it an amount of condensate. HVAC systems are designed to have that condensate flow outside through a drip line. But, those drip lines can get all clogged up with shrubbery, 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 friend of mine had a bunch of stuff ruined in his garage due to condensate back up. The drip line for the HVAC gets clogged and then the water simply overflows the pan under the air handler. The next thing you guess it’s running across the floor and damaging anything adore boxes or even worse, electrical stuff. It may seem a bit paranoid but, there is just no way that I will let HVAC condensate ruin anything in our lake house or cause a horrible mold problem. And, it doesn’t take much to prevent such a thing. Just a bit of proactive HVAC repair.
