A/C Service Problem



Recently we facilitated acces to an A/C company to do their scheduled annual inspection. One of the things they do is to blow out the A/C drain line to ensure that they are clear of clogging from algae buildup. Unfortunately when they did this to a home in Stonebridge they caused the PVC drain pipe to seperate at the elbow and instead of insuring condensation draining outisde they caused it to drain inside. Because the A/C unit was located in the garage and the owner had stuff stacked in front of the air handler unit we didn't discover the problem until several weeks after the A/C was serviced but soon enough to prevent any major problems. The moral of this story for us is to check closely whenever service companies have done work in a clients home. If you look closely at the photos you can see the location where a new elbow was installed during a service callback by the A/C company.
