If you get a clogged drain, you will have to spend quite a bit of money getting it unclogged and working again.
You might be wondering how to even know if you have a clogged HVAC line though.
We recommend you give us a call right away if you notice any of these things as it can signal that your discharge line is clogged and you need help right away:
- Dripping or standing water. This means there is water leaking around your A/C unit. If there is water leaking, chances are there is a drain pipe that has become blocked.
- Mold in the drip pan. If you see any mold, this means that water has accumulated somewhere. Even if you don’t see water, the mold needs to be taken seriously because mold spores can be blown around the home through the air conditioner.
- Standing water in the drip pan. Sometimes you won’t just see mold, but you will see water in the drip pan. The drip pan could even overflow and then you will find yourself with a fully blocked line and many different issues.
If you notice any of the above, you should give us a call right away. Below we have outlined the process of how we can repair your HVAC line and ensure that your system is water and mold-free.
Step One: Contact LimeGreen Water Damage & Restoration
If you find out you have an HVAC line leak, it can be very overwhelming because you don’t know how much damage has taken place. Feeling stressed and overwhelmed is normal, but make sure to remain calm and give us a call.
Our professionals will talk to you over the phone and ask you some questions to ensure it’s an HVAC line break you’re dealing with and not something else.
Once they have some initial information, they will schedule a time to come and assess the damage.
Step Two: Inspect the Damage
When our professionals first get to your home, they will inspect the damage. This includes checking the entire HVAC system as well as the surrounding walls and floors. The inspection allows us to see the damage and how extensive or minor it may be.
We also check for signs of standing water or mold as this can affect how we restore the system and deal with the cleanup.
Step Three: The Cleanup
Now it’s time for the cleanup process which is the most important. If the line is clogged, we will first need to unclog it. If you have noticed a line break, chances are the pipe is clogged so unclogging it will be what we start working on from the very beginning.
We will use a special suction tool to remove the clog. Most of the time, we just use a wet-dry vacuum and form a good seal around the drain line. We might also use a combination of warm water and distilled vinegar as this can do a good job of breaking apart debris and ensuring the clog comes out.
However, serious clogs need more serious equipment. We have industrial-grade suction tools that we sometimes need to use if the clog is severe and the simpler methods do not work.
We can usually tell by the way the clog looks what kind of tool we need so we will bring along the appropriate equipment when we come to your home.
Once the pipe is unclogged, we will clean the entire system and ensure there is no standing water around the unit or inside it. If the mold situation is serious, we might also have to do some mold remediation to ensure all of it is removed and it will not continue growing.
Your family’s health and safety is our top priority so we always want to ensure there is no mold or stagnant water in the home.
The Benefits of Letting Us Handle Your HVAC Discharge Line Cleanup
Althogh a HVAC discharge line cleanup can seem simple and it might be tempting to do a DIY approach, this is not recommended. If not unclogged properly, the clog will just come back and the problem will be more serious than it was before.
Cleaning the stagnant water and mold is also not easy on your own. It’s best you leave it to professionals because you never know if you have removed all the mold and moisture yourself. If water and mold are left in the HVAC system, the mold spores will just be blown around the home every time you turn on the air conditioning system. Here are some other major benefits of letting us unclog and clean up your HVAC discharge line:
- Avoid water leaks. Water leaks are common when there is a pipe that is clogged. This can release water into the HVAC system and cause water to leak from the system.
- Keeps the air conditioner running better. When there are no clogs in the system, your HVAC system can run better and more efficiently. This can also reduce your overall energy bill which can save you money every month.
- Keep your healthy. When there is no stagnant water and no mold, your family can be free of allergies and asthma symptoms.
When you let professionals handle the situation, you also get an overall peace of mind that everything is clean and okay.
