The condensate drain on your AC removes 5-20 gallons of water per day in humid climates. When it clogs (algae, dust, debris), that water backs up into the drain pan and overflows — often into ceilings, walls, and floors. Pour 1 cup of distilled white vinegar into the drain access point every 3 months. Install a wet switch (float switch) as backup — it shuts the system off before overflow.
