Make sure you or your Heating, Ventilation plus A/C specialist cleans your condensate line at least once a year because it’s seriously crucial
I have a lot of cleaning and repair to do around my house. It started with cleaning off the debris and rotted leaves on the roof of my house. I don’t certainly love getting on ladders, especially when it means getting to the top of my roof. I’m also scared of heights and generally worry about what’s going to happen to me if I ever happen to lose my footing and fall. I was relieved when I was finally finished with the roof work, but then the people I was with and I was forced to clean the drain lines for my multiple bathroom sinks. These sinks are used several times a afternoon and haven’t been cleaned and snaked since I moved into this place multiple and a half years ago. You have to detach the p-trap or u-pipe underneath the sink so you can force a handheld snake through the pipe to clean out the built up soap scum and slime. It’s a disgusting chore, but it needs to be done on a official basis. Similarly, the condensate line for my central Heating, Ventilation plus A/C system also needs to be cleaned so that there aren’t any clogs forcing water back into the a/c. All you need to do is run bleach through the condensate line while leaving the nozzle of a vacuum connected to the exit port for the condensate line outside. That way any crud or debris can fall down the skinny PVC pipe and into the vacuum once it finally gets outside. Make sure you or your Heating, Ventilation plus A/C specialist cleans your condensate line at least once a year because it’s seriously crucial. I don’t mind doing the chore now that I have done it successfully a handful of times.
