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.

Arrived early, was super nice, had the job done in no time. Was able to find his way around my new with no problems even though he hadn't worked on that type before. Will be requesting him for future maintenance.

Kia Optima L4-2.4L - Oil Change - San Mateo, California
Other than a minor glitch trying to make my appointment on-line the service was awesome!! Was able to make an appointment for the day and time I wanted. Ronie did a great job communicating with me from the minute I made my appointment all the way through the service completion. Service was quick and friendly. Not sure why ANYONE would go to a garage when Your Mechanic is an option!! I was able to sit in the comfort of my own home and get work done while car was serviced!!

Kia Optima L4-2.4L - Brake Pedal vibrates or shakes - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
First I would like to say that as I personally did not meet Wayne as I was at work but he corresponded with my fiancee who advised that he was very professional and courtesy. I only have one complaint and I would have given him 5 stars but for the one complaint. He called and asked if he could come earlier which was nice. When he got there he called me since I was at work and explained the problem with my car which was the brake pedal was vibrating when you put your foot on the brake. He jacked the car up and saw that my rotors were warped. He called me and advised me of this and that they needed to be changed. My only complaint is that I would have appreciated it if he had asked if I wanted him to do the work today and if he had asked I would have said yes but I did not get that opportunity. I received his inspection report which I did like and his recommendations and which lists everything that he did and checked. So now I have to schedule another appointment to get the rotors/brake pads replaced.
