Aircon Drainage Repair
Water from the indoor unit always looks the same, but the cause is one of four things: blocked drain, cracked pan, bad slope, or disconnected pipe. The fix depends on which one. We trace the full condensate path before quoting, so you're not paying for a flush when the pan needs replacing. For current rates, see the pricing page.

What Drainage Repair Covers
Tracing the full condensate path and fixing the cause of the leak: blocked drain, cracked pan, bad slope, or disconnected pipe. Common situations where drainage repair fits:
Water dripping from the indoor unit
A blocked drain, cracked pan, poor slope, or loose pipe makes water back up and leak from the unit body.
Ceiling staining near the air outlet
Condensate's overflowing or escaping before it reaches the discharge point.
Leak returns after servicing
A drain flush clears a simple blockage. It won't fix a cracked pan, bad gradient, or misaligned pipe.
When to Start Elsewhere
Not all water near an aircon unit starts with drainage repair.
Condensation on the unit body
Usually points to insulation, airflow, or installation conditions, not a drain fault.
Ice melts and drips from the indoor unit
Start with cooling diagnosis. Refrigerant or airflow problems freeze the coil first.
Water appears only around the outdoor unit
Some outdoor condensation during cooling is normal. Book an on-site inspection if the source isn't clear.
What We Check Before Repair
We trace the full condensate path before deciding between clearing, pan replacement, slope correction, or pipe rerouting.
Drain pan condition
We check whether water's collecting correctly or escaping through a cracked, shifted, or overflowing pan.
Drain line flow
We check the line for dust, algae, slime, and partial blockage that slows drainage before it fully backs up.
Slope and routing
Condensate needs gravity fall. We check for reverse gradients, sagging runs, loose joints, and discharge issues.
Water test
Once the repair's done, we run water through the full route to confirm flow from pan to discharge.
What You Get
Stop the leak by fixing the cause, not just clearing what's visible.
Full drainage path checked
We assess pan, pipe, slope, and discharge point before confirming the repair.
Cause-specific repair
Blockage, pan damage, slope issue, or disconnected pipe each get the right fix.
Leak verification
We test the unit after the work, so slow drainage, pooling, or repeat dripping gets caught before handover.
Not Sure What Failed?
If the fault is not confirmed yet, start with an on-site inspection before choosing a repair path.
