Condensate Drain Line Services in St. Louis and Surrounding Areas
It may surprise you to learn that plumbers have a role to play in air conditioning repair, but depending upon the nature of the problem, that may be exactly what you need. Air conditioners create condensate when they cool the air, which is collected in a drain pan and removed via a drain line. That line can experience the same problems that any other plumbing line can, including clogs, leaks and breaches.

We have the experience and training needed to handle the issue the right way, and we’ll make sure the issue is fiixed the first time every time. We move swiftly too, so those hot summer days won’t have time to warm your household up. Contact our team today!
How Does The Condensate Drain Line Work?
When you lower the temperature of the air, the ambient moisture shifts from gaseous to liquid form, coalescing into droplets. It’s how we get dew on the ground in the early hours of the morning, when the air is at its coolest.
The same phenomenon takes place in your air conditioner, which needs to remove the condensate before it can damage sensitive components. A drip pan collects the droplets and a drain line removes the condensate from the system.
What Happens When There’s Trouble?
If a leak or a clog in the drain line appears, you can see how much of a problem it will become. The pan will quickly overflow, or a leak may damage other components, and while many air conditioners have safety features that prevent them from turning on in such circumstances, you still need to get the issue treated if you want your system to run the right way.
This is a particular issue in our neck of the woods because summers are so humid, which means there’s a lot of excess moisture in the air. Air conditioners can easily become overwhelmed by the high levels of mugginess and shut down: remaining only fitfully reliable at best until the issue with the condensate drain is addressed.
