Why AC Drip Lines Clog in the Rio Grande Valley
Air conditioning systems remove humidity from the air as they cool your home. That moisture collects in the drain pan and drains out through a small PVC condensate line. In the RGV's humid climate, this line can clog with algae, mold, and biofilm — sometimes within a single cooling season. When it clogs, the drain pan fills up and overflows, leading to ceiling stains, drywall damage, and in many cases, the AC unit shutting off due to a float switch activation designed to prevent overflow.
