Yes, that is a classic sign of a clogged condensate drain line, a frequent problem in our humid climate. When this drain clogs with algae or debris, it can cause water to back up and potentially lead to costly water damage or mold growth.

We use specialized tools to clear the blockage completely and can also apply preventative treatments to inhibit future algae growth, helping to protect your home and ensure your system drains properly.
