Upon arrival, member reported water leaking from the indoor air handler located inside the closet. Member had previously been instructed to shut the system off to help prevent additional water damage. Inspected the condensate drainage system and found a significant accumulation of dirt, dust, sludge, organic buildup, and debris restricting the primary condensate drain. The HVAC condensate line ties into the bathroom sink drain, where additional heavy debris accumulation was found that was contributing to restricted drainage. Utilized the existing Jones valve to thoroughly clear the primary condensate line. The bathroom sink drain and condensate termination connection were also cleared, with a substantial amount of accumulated debris removed and documented during service. Installed a new condensate water safety switch with the appropriate riser. The safety switch was added to provide additional protection by interrupting HVAC operation in the event the condensate line becomes restricted

Fortunately an intermittent problem in my furnace "cooperated" by not working when Mr. Carrier arrived so he could see for himself what I was experiencing. Mr. Carrier was able to quickly diagnose the problem, which turned out to be literally a bug in a line causing a pressure short. He was very friendly and efficient in his service and I appreciated his skill in fixing the problem without having to replace any parts!
