Why drains clog during North Texas summers

An evaporator coil pulls moisture out of humid air, sometimes gallons a day. That water carries dust into a PVC line where algae and biofilm can grow in dark, warm conditions. Once the line blocks, the pan fills and the float switch trips, shutting the system off — which is the system protecting your ceiling.

What the repair involves

The line can be vacuumed from the exterior termination, flushed back through the access port, and treated. The primary and secondary pans are inspected for corrosion, the float switch is tested by lifting it with the system running, and the trap is checked for correct depth and slope.

Signs a problem is developing

Water stains near the air handler or on the ceiling below an attic unit, a musty smell at the vents, higher indoor humidity, or a system shutting off and restarting on its own. If a secondary drain line over a window starts dripping outside, the primary line is likely already blocked.

Keeping it clear

Pouring a cup of distilled white vinegar into the drain access port monthly during cooling season can help. Avoid bleach on systems with metal pans or fittings. Confirm the float switch works at each annual tune-up — a stuck switch is a common path to ceiling damage.
