This slimy buildup eventually blocks the line, causing water to back up and potentially damage your system or home.

During this service, we thoroughly clean the drain line and pan and can apply an anti-algae tablet to inhibit future growth, protecting your system.

We recommend scheduling repair as soon as you notice symptoms like water around the indoor unit or inconsistent temperatures to avoid a full breakdown.
