I thought this was going to be a quick HVAC service call to unclog and clean out the AC condensate line, but this stubborn blockage was probably one of the worst I've ever seen!

I tried using nitrogen to blast out the clogged drain, but there was a significant amount of rust and sediment build-up. Let me know in the comments if you've ever tried backflushing the drain with a water hose?
After unclogging the AC drain line, I let the unit run for a bit and checked the outside drain to make sure it was draining properly. I also encouraged the customer to have regularly scheduled maintenance to ensure it stays clear.

Thanks for watching!
