Home Improvement & Repair on Video: How to Stop Air Conditioner Condensation Drip

If you’ve noticed water dripping out of a pipe located by the porch or front door, you may have a clog in your primary condensation drip line.

Your air conditioner produces condensation as it runs. This build up can cause problems, which is why it is drained through the primary condensation drip line. But the drip line can get clogged with algae buildup, forcing the condensation to be diverted to a drip pan in the attic, which drains through your back-up condensation drip line.

You’ll need to go to your attic and locate the condensation line. Pull off the cap and pour some warm water and bleach down to clean out the algae. If the build up is too much, then you’ll need to get a snake to help you clean it out.
