Air conditioners dehumidify by pulling water from the air, which drains through primary and secondary lines. If those lines clog, water backs up into your ceiling. Regular drain maintenance prevents expensive damage.
So when you're talking about air conditioning, you're talking about removing heat from the house. Part of that removal of the heat, especially in this area, is dehumidification. We talked about that last week. The air conditioner is a dehumidifier. So to do that, moisture is taken out of the air. So the result of that, obviously, is water. So that water has to go somewhere. So upstairs you have a drain line. It sounds like you have a drain line, a primary drain line, and a secondary drain line. The primary drain line should be functional. Somewhere where you cannot see it. It'll be outside, obviously, dripping somewhere. The secondary drain line, when that's installed, they always put it in a place where you can see the water dripping. When that secondary line is dripping, it means the primary is clogged. So you're fixing to have a serious problem on your hands. So I would get my contractor or us out there to see why that drain line is clogged in. The primary drain line is clogged and then check the secondary. But it is working properly in your cool. So you might not think there's a need to call somebody, but I would go and do that. Otherwise you risk the problem of having that secondary drain line get clogged. And then you have an overflow on your ceiling, you have ceiling damage, you're going to have all kind of problems.
