What is cleaning the evaporator drain tube all about?

The evaporator drain tube allows your air conditioning system to dispose of the condensation created by the air conditioning unit’s evaporator coil. You may have noticed that a home air conditioning system sometimes drips water. That happens in your car as well, but the evaporator drain tube drains it from the system and out of the vehicle. When the drain tube needs cleaning it can fail to do its job.

Keep in mind:

  • When the evaporator drain tube is cleaned it should also be checked to see if it should be replaced.
  • If the debris accumulation in the evaporator drain tube has caused molding or algae growth, then the rest of the system should be inspected for cleanliness.

How it's done:

  • Climb under the car
  • Find the evaporator drain tube
  • Take a hanger and run it in and out of the tube

Our recommendation:

The air conditioning system is a closed system, and is not inspected during routine maintenance. Even though the evaporator drain tube is easy for a mechanic to access and clean, it usually won’t be inspected unless a problem is reported. If you notice any leaking in the cabin of your vehicle, schedule an inspection immediately.

What is a common symptom indicating you need to clean the evaporator drain tube?

  • Water leaking inside the car

How important is this service?

As your vehicle’s air conditioning system operates, the evaporator coil creates condensation. This condensation needs a way to escape the air conditioning system and the car. The evaporator drain tube is attached to the air conditioning unit, and drains all of this condensation away so that no liquid remains in the system. When the evaporator drain tube gets dirty it can develop mold or algae growth that can plug the tube entirely. When that happens, the air conditioning will have no way to excrete its condensation, and water will likely seep into the cabin of your vehicle.

I was very happy with the service Clarissa provided. She showed up on time, was courteous, professional and completed the work in the time that was estimated. This was the most pleasant experience I have had with a mechanic in years. I will definately be reaching out to Clarissa for future work. Thanks Clarissa!

Audi A6 Quattro V6-3.0L Turbo - Battery - San Francisco, California
He didn't check all the things in the report, for instance, my tires are brand new. My biggest complaint was that he didn't do the battery system reset needed on modern cars. I had called YourMechanic specifically asking to have that done, as I could have changed the battery by myself with help from my son. He said that's not part of it, but that's not what I was told on the phone before I ordered. Other than that he was nice, and was thorough in his work that he did do. Not sure which this is: a YM problem or the mechanic problem. Thus this comment.
