HVAC leaking is a common issue during hot weather. If you notice a leaking AC unit, shut off your air conditioner at the thermostat immediately. HVAC experts should check the system to investigate whether water overflowing is caused by clogged air filters, drain lines, or low refrigerant.
The clogged condensate drain caused this active leak in the store. Thus, the drain line is the next area to investigate. The clogged AC condensation drain line must be cleared before rerunning the air conditioning. This most likely involves using a plumbing snake to remove the obstruction. Over time, and as water flows through your condensation line, mold and mildew can build up. Regular maintenance requires pouring 1-2 cups of bleach or vinegar into your condensation line every few months to keep it clean. Or you may contact a professional HVAC company for regular maintenance before the problems appear.
