I had water leaking from unit because my condensate pump was bad so I thought.
I replaced the pump, and it was fine for several days. Now I am getting leaking again.
Should I cut the pipe to clear the trap? Use a shopvac to try to suck out past the trap? Or blow it out from the top ?
I have seen several different procedures on youtube so maybe I will try one or more.
. I have never cut PVC so I would rather not do that unless absolutely necessary.
I did have a service guy come and check my system for a cool hundo twenty, and he didn't do anything
with the drain as it was working at the time. I should have told him to check the drain, he got away with
just taking a few measurements and a bit of other cleaning, and washing down the outside unit..
Then again why should I need to tell a pro what needs to be done,
especially when that was the reason for the call ??!!
