Most facility managers don’t budget for water damage. But it happens. A clogged condensate drain line backs up, floods the ceiling, ruins the carpet—and just like that, you’ve got a costly mess on your hands.
Drain line clogs may seem like a small maintenance issue, but their ripple effects can eat up your time, money, and manpower.
Here’s what they’re really costing you—and how AC Drain Free helps you avoid it all together.
What a Clogged Drain Line Really Costs Let’s break it down:
- Emergency service calls disrupt workflows and rack up labor hours
- Damage to ceiling tiles, flooring, or walls triggers unexpected repair costs
- Downtime in critical areas—especially near IT infrastructure or operations
- Frustrated tenants, employees, or customers who lose confidence in your building maintenance
And that’s just the visible cost. What about the hours your team spends rechecking lines, clearing blockages, or filing damage reports?
Reactive Maintenance Isn’t a Strategy Sure, you can blow out a clogged line when it happens. You can even flush it with bleach and hope for the best. But that’s a short-term fix—one that will keep costing you.
Preventive maintenance is the smarter move. And it starts with a better solution.
The AC Drain Free Advantage AC Drain Free is a preventive system that works silently behind the scenes to keep your lines clear. It combines a durable PVC canister with slow-dissolving treatment tablets that:
- Break down algae, biofilm, and sludge before clogs form
- Fit into existing ¾-inch lines with quick, easy installation
- Last for weeks or even months, depending on system usage
- Require minimal oversight, freeing your team to focus on higher-priority tasks
It’s already being used in large commercial and industrial facilities—including ice machines and refrigeration lines—not just HVAC systems.
