From TexAgs Sponsor, American Plumbing Company:

Maybe it was a window unit that only cooled one room. Maybe the thermostat was permanently set to "hope for the best." Or maybe your college place somehow stayed comfortable even through an Aggieland September.

However you survived the heat back then, today's AC systems are still working hard this time of yearand anyone in Texas knows summer is not over yet. Now is a good time to check one small drain line that can cause a very big problem.

Did you know a clogged AC condensate drain line can lead to water damage inside your home?

In this reel, Jarrid walks us through how to clear the line by removing the drain cap and running a drain snake through it. When that line gets clogged, water has nowhere to go, and it can back up into your attic and ceiling.
A little maintenance today can help prevent a big mess tomorrow.

Lived in a trailer. AC worked fine. But one really cold January morning I woke up smelling gas. A hole had rusted through the furnace. I opened the window by my bed and went back to sleep. Luckily I didn't die.
Also had a hole in the floor of my closet. Could see straight through to the ground. I filled it with Great Stuff.

No A/C when I lived the 4 years in Walton Hall.
Had a nice corner room I-10 w/ 2 box fans on opposite walls.
Very tolerable back then.
Would not want to do that today.
Last time I visited the Walton they had A/C window units and women.
Now that would have been nice!!

No a/c in Hart Hall in '64. But the physics building was just across the parking lot and had great a/c. So, my roomie and I would find an empty classroom in which we could do our homework on a warm night.

Alas, after a few months my roomie got kicked out of Hart Hall and went to live in one of the brand new dorms near Northgate. Dorm 19 had good central a/c, and I joined him for the spring term. I stayed in the same room 315 until I graduated.

Sometimes if you want a different answer, you have to ask a different question.
