What happens when an air conditioner condensate line clogs? what kinda professional do i call if it is?

i have a wet carpet that has been eating through towels for a couple of months now in a certain area of my house, and only in a certain area in my house. i have a central air conditioner and only a one story house.


this has been going on for a few months now and i know mold is there.





i%26#039;ve tried my hand at drying the carpet and to my dismay, it soaks up again the next day.





with extensive amounts of Google searches, after suspecting that the mold is catching up to my cough that could progressively amplify, i suspect that it may be a Air Conditioner Condensation Line drip.





i watched that video of the professional guy and it might be it.





and,





what kind of professional do I call about fixing a condensation line. A plumber?





and





who would I call about getting rid of the mold?

Any company that specializes in HVAC (Heating, Vents and Air Conditioning) can look at and fix your condensate line if that%26#039;s the problem. You might try a carpet cleaning company for the mold, but if it%26#039;s in the drywall there%26#039;s nothing to do but tear out the affected portion and replace it.
Reply:call the heating and air cond. guy
Reply:If you have a water hose you can squirt water back up the consensate line and blow the clog loose. Don%26#039;t over-do it cause the water then would end up on your carpet also.
Reply:An HVAC tek can easily clean out the condensate line and or fix the leak in the pan that the line is attached to.





You do not state where you are located, but if the environment is not too moist, then you may want to check for air infiltration into your cooled space as well, the outside air coming in may be bringing in moisture.





For mold issues etc, as stated above remove and replace is best, but before that you may want to call a fire and flood repair service, they generally have a keen sense for mold and smell issues and do moisture damage repairs.





Get yourself a electrostatic filter from radio-shack etc about 50 bucks to filter the air in your environment/room. It will catch the mold spores etc. That will help you get rid of your cough etc.





Best of luck
Reply:You can fix this yourself very easily, what you have in the line is called a worm, stuff that gets past the filter and accumulates over time to the point of clogging the line. inside your unit is a catch pan, it is overflowing because your line is attached to it, sponge out as much water as you can, then pour plain ole bleach in the pan, it will unclog the line. You may have to do this a couple or three times if it is clogged bad.


After it is fixed, you should pour some bleach in the pan a couple of times a year to prevent it from happening again.

Reply:I have had this problem on a few occasions. I use a shop vack on the outside drain with great results. Also make sure that there is only P trap in the line.
