AC Condensation Leaks – Professional Property Management Hilton Head

Condensate Leaks – The following is brought to you by the group at Service Team Training – mark@serviceteamtraining.com

Well for many of us we have just finished getting bombarded with the first wave of A/C calls and corrected more than our share of undercharged units. Whew!

Historically what happens next when the A/C systems are up and running is condensation leaks. Condensation leaks can wreak havoc in your ceilings, on the carpet, and really make a mess while frustrating a resident.

Cleaning out drain pans and adding something as simple as a Sludge preventing drain tablet can save a fortune in time and frustration and prevent you from making a return trip. Let’s face it the last thing a technician wants to do is make several trips to the same home for the same or similar problem.

Keep in mind that condensation water is absolutely filthy and should be treated whenever it leaks. It has been known as a source to cause legionnaires disease so please be sure to disinfect any area that has come in contact with condensation. Many reports show that is carries more harmful bacteria than raw sewage.

An ounce of prevention will save you a pound of work so install the tablets and they will make a difference. Clean coils whenever you get a chance, and of course, the best time to install the drain tablets is during the turn process. If you make it a habit, I guarantee you’ll get fewer condensation leaks.
