Water shows up on the ceiling of the condo under yours, or the float switch shuts your AC off in the middle of a guest stay.
Why it happens here: Air handlers along Perdido Beach Boulevard sit in tight closets above other units, so one clogged condensate line becomes two owners’ problem. After Hurricane Sally dropped 29.99 inches of rain here, many buildings also learned how fast water finds its way down.
What the contractor does: An emergency AC repair visit clears the drain and pan the same day where possible, and a maintenance plan treats the line before peak season.
