If you never clean the drain line for your cooling system, then you are easily going to come to a time when your cooling system will freeze up, then a backed up drain line can cause a lot of problems, green algae can begin to form inside the drain line if the line is never cleaned… When I was living in my first apartment, I had a large leak… I came apartment from work as well as took off my shoes by the front door.
I started walking over to the study room as well as I felt my foot get wet in the hall.
All of the carpet in the hallway was completely soaked with water. I called the apartment maintenance staff as well as told them about the wet carpet, but they told myself and others that the A/C was easily leaking as well as they would call the maintenance corporation. The A/C maintenance company was there in less than an hour as well as they split away the carpet as well as the padding so they could dry the area. They also used a unit to suck out all of the dirt, debris, as well as algae from the drain line. They told myself and others to wait an hour before I turn the A/C device back to cooling. The sound of the blower that dried the carpet was horrendous as well as I was awake all night long. Thankfully, the carpet as well as carpet padding was dry in a few nights. After that problem, I tried to find apartments that did not have any carpeted areas, but even though the area dried abruptly, the smell of old, musty water never left the apartment.
