Georgetown Hard Water Note: Georgetown draws from the Edwards Aquifer, one of the hardest water sources in Texas. This means AC drain lines accumulate mineral scale significantly faster than in Austin or Round Rock. Annual drain cleaning is strongly recommended here.
Condensate Drain Services
Clear blocked AC drain lines with pressurized flush and vacuum, the most common summer service call in Georgetown.
Repair cracked, disconnected, or improperly pitched drain lines causing leaks or improper drainage.
Clear and flush condensate P-traps that accumulate sludge and cause drain restriction or float switch trips.
Chemical treatment of drain lines to dissolve biofilm and mineral scale buildup, recommended for Georgetown's hard water.
Drain Pans, Pumps & Safety Devices
Install properly configured P-traps to maintain the water seal required for correct drain system function.
Install float switches that shut down the system if the drain pan fills, prevents water damage from drain backups.
Install secondary drain pans under attic air handlers, required by code and essential for protecting Georgetown ceilings.
Replace cracked or rusted drain pans before they leak into ceilings or cause structural damage.
Install or repair condensate pumps for systems that can't gravity-drain, basements, closets, and attic systems without nearby drain access.
Install condensate neutralizers for high-efficiency furnaces and heat pumps that produce acidic condensate.
Emergency response for active water leaks from HVAC drain pans, stop water damage before it spreads.

What We Do First
When a customer calls saying there is water leaking from underneath my inside unit, our first priority on arrival is not diagnosing the root cause, it is stopping the water from spreading further. That means shutting the system down at the thermostat or breaker if it has not already tripped a safety switch, extracting any standing water from the pan and surrounding area, and getting a clear look at exactly where the water is coming from before it does more damage to flooring, drywall, or a ceiling below.
A flooded drain pan has a limited set of actual causes, and identifying which one applies determines everything about the fix. A clogged drain line downstream of the pan is the most frequent cause, water backs up because it has nowhere to go, and the pan fills faster than the small clog allows it to drain. A cracked or corroded pan lets water escape through the pan itself regardless of whether the drain line is clear. A disconnected line, where the drain tubing has come loose from its fitting at the pan outlet, sends condensate directly onto the floor or into the ceiling cavity instead of into the drain system at all. Less commonly, a failed condensate pump on systems that rely on one for drainage means water accumulates in the pump reservoir with nowhere to go once the pump stops working.
Once we stop the active leak, and depending on how long water has been present, we assess whether the standing water has reached insulation, drywall, or flooring materials that need drying or professional water damage remediation, a separate service from the HVAC repair itself but one we flag immediately so you can address it before mold becomes a concern. We then perform the specific repair the root cause requires, clearing a drain clog, sealing or replacing a cracked pan, reconnecting or repairing a disconnected line, or repairing or replacing a failed pump, and verify the fix by running the system and confirming water flows correctly through the entire drainage path before we consider the call complete.
Because this is genuinely a same-day priority, standing water in a ceiling or interior space only gets worse the longer it sits, we treat flooded drain pan calls as emergency dispatches and aim to have a technician on site quickly rather than scheduling it into a normal appointment window. Pricing depends entirely on what caused the flood and what repair it requires, ranging from a straightforward drain clearing to a more involved pan or pump replacement, with the service call fee determined based on the specific service needed and your service area.
