Tasks That You Can Do Yourself
Turn off the HVAC system at the thermostat and circuit breaker and find the condensate pan. The pan is typically located below the indoor air handler. Use a mop or a handheld wet/dry vacuum to remove the water and then clean the pan with soapy water. Next, go outside to the condensate drain outlet and use a vacuum to suck out the clog in the pipeline. Finally, look for the access point on the drain line, remove its cover and check for debris. Pour hot water with dishwashing soap, white vinegar or diluted hydrogen peroxide to flush the drain line.
