Home Improvement → Re: Air Conditioner -- water dripping outside

I am not going into the attic to look around, as I don't go that far into the attic! (I have mild claustrophobia!)

Pictures:

Near the eves:

If you won't do it you need the AC man out to blow out the pipes.

Also once a year you need to put a cup or 2 of bleach in both of those lines.

According to what you see in the picture the lower one should drain most of the time when the unit is running. When the upper one drains it is an indication of a problem with the othe drain. If it gets plugged too it then drips into te attic! The other one needs to be cleaned out.

edtit-spelling-again!

I agree with PeeWee -- your primary drain which goes to the ground is clogged. Everything is fine until the one in the eave clogs and then you will be replacing sheetrock and possibly wood floor ect. It is not an emergency, but it needs to be corrected.

bleach is corrosive for metal which some if not most drip pans are made off. there are special tables for this purpose. tell me i'm wrong and back it up?
