AC Drain Line Clog in Mount Sterling, MO

An AC drain line clog in Mount Sterling, MO 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 Mount Sterling, MO.

Talk to our crew
How much does central AC repair cost?
It depends on the part. A capacitor or contactor is a small repair. A refrigerant leak or a compressor is a much bigger one. We diagnose first, then give you the price before any work starts, so you decide with the number in front of you.
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.
Can you just add refrigerant to my AC?
We can, but it rarely makes sense on its own. A central AC system is sealed, so low refrigerant means a leak. Topping it off without fixing the leak means the charge leaks out again. We find the leak, repair it and weigh in the correct charge.
Why does my AC keep tripping the breaker?
Common causes are a compressor struggling to start because of a weak capacitor, a shorted fan motor, a compressor with a winding shorted to ground, or loose and overheated wiring. Resetting the breaker over and over can make it worse. Leave it off and call us.
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.
