10/4/23: I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube and then chased with water. The drain line was filling up to the funnel as I was putting both the vinegar and the water down the tube. I would have to let it drain some very slowly it would go down. This indicates that your drain line is about to plug completely. If this is allowed to happen, service company would have to come out to one block that drain line at the cost of a minimum hundred to $150. Knowing that it had to be unplugged and that I couldn’t do anything once it was totally plugged as technically it is then an AC problem and I legally would be able to work on it. I brought out my shop vac and I vacuumed the drain line for the AC as this is considered preventative care. What I got out of that line was the most I’ve ever gotten from a system, photo is below. Providing this service is an additional $20 but I felt you would agree it would save you $80 or more. Some dead ants at the living room slider, reported previously. I did not see any live ants.
