Leaks Around Your Furnace or AC? It Could Be the Drain Line.

Your HVAC system quietly pulls moisture out of the air while it heats and cools — and that moisture has to go somewhere. It drains through a small pipe called the condensate drain line. But when that line gets clogged, water backs up… and that’s when things go wrong.

At Novus Mechanical, we offer fast, affordable drain line inspections for families across Freehold, Marlboro, and Manalapan. We’ll check the line, clear any buildup, and help you avoid hidden damage — all while treating your home like our own.

🛠️ What’s Included in Our Drain Line Inspections:

• ✅ Visual inspection of the entire condensate drain system

• ✅ Line flushing to remove clogs or debris

• ✅ Check for proper slope and secure connections

The result? Peace of mind knowing water’s going where it should — not under your floorboards.

😣 You’re Not Alone — These Are Common Issues:

• “There’s water on the floor by my furnace or AC.”

🧡 A Leak That Almost Got Missed in Manalapan

One Manalapan homeowner called us after finding a little puddle near her furnace. Another company had told her “it was normal.” But she trusted her gut — and we’re glad she did. During our drain line inspection, we found a slow clog that had been building up for months. We cleared the line and caught the damage early. She told us later, “I almost ignored it — thank you for actually looking.”

❓ Drain Line Inspection FAQs

Why is my drain line not working right?

It could be clogged with dust, algae, or even insects. If the water can’t flow out, it backs up — sometimes into your system or home.

How do I know if I need a repair or just an inspection?

If you see moisture, smell mustiness, or your system keeps shutting off, it’s time for a checkup. We’ll always start with an inspection before recommending anything else.

Can I clear the line myself?

You can try with vinegar or a wet-dry vacuum, but if it’s been a while or the clog is deep, it’s best to let a tech handle it safely.

How much does a drain line inspection cost?

Most inspections and cleanings cost between $100–$200, and it can save you thousands in water damage or mold repair.

Do you offer emergency service?

Yes — especially if your system has shut down or water is leaking into your home.

Do you guarantee your work?

Of course. If we clear your line and the problem returns within a short time, we’ll come back and make it right.
