I pour bleach down my condensate drain line every 6 months for the last 3 years since the new AC unit was installed. Last time was right after Christmas.

Whatever the fùck happened in there since then is ridiculous. I've poured a half gallon of bleach and tons of soapy water down it and it still backs up after a cup or so. I tried running an auger down it with no luck - it just got stuck.

Hopefully, my guy can make it out today. Cause if not, it's not getting fixed till I get back home next week

Do you know where the drain is? If so, get the water hose and turn it on. Push water from outside the house up the drain for a few seconds. Be careful not hold the water hose there too long or it will overflow the pan. Do you have a drain pump? If so, it may have stopped working.

I've blown air both directions, down the line and up the drain. I tried suction at the drain. I've done the garden hose up the drain. No drain pump. I'm at a loss. The original installer is coming out this afternoon to look at it.
