Default Condensation

I have been finding water on the floor in my kitchen and utility areas for
the last several mornings.

It has been terribly hot here for the last few weeks and the air
conditioners have been running almost constantly.

Tonight I saw a water stain on the ceiling in the utility room and water was
dripping from the light fixture. The light glove was filled with water. I
think the drain for the condensation is stopped up and water is spilling
unto the ceiling and unto the floor.

I have called the air conditioning company and they will be here in the
morning, but until then I have both my air conditioners turned off.

Does anyone know of a quick and easy way to unstop the drain in the attic
without the need to go up there.

The overflow pipe is accessible from outside down stairs. Is there any way I
could unplug the stoppage from down on the ground?

Thanks,

Freckles


My Ac condenser has a hose to the outside, it has clogged, my pan has
a cut off switch should everything clog, you should have a switch put
in and test it every year so you dont spend alot fixing water damage.
Have you looked at it, usualy unclogging a plugged up hose is easy,
this, your filter, a clean AC coil, keeping drains clear and mold free
are things that need regular checking by you, not every year or 2, so
when is the last time the filter was changed and all checked?
