So our upstairs master air handler backed up and flooded the downstairs roof. That's the easy part.
Now I've had 2 contractors in and neither can fix this. The 2nd contractor is recommending a positive pressure pump given the distance and inability to clear the line.
We cleared it with wet vac and air tight attachment.
We cleared it with nitrogen.
We ran Triple D.
I have Liquid Plumber foaming inside it now....going nowhere.
But it's backed up right now again. He thinks that somewhere I have a sagging line and gravity is no longer working for us.
It's plumbed all weird with a P trap down about 2 feet over to an air line. That part makes sense. But the unit is interior to the home and the condensate must make at least 4 turns to the pad and ground trap because it comes up through the poured concrete pad.
Does it sound reasonable to put a positive pressure pump on this with fail safes I need anyways? I can add photos!
