Re: Bathroom Sink Blowback
Hi Mark, What you need is a definite explaintion as to just where the water came from that dripped through your ceiling and I haven't heard one yet. If you have please share it with me. Also what's the problem with your present air handler and why would you need a new one? The T&P,( Temperature and Pressure) valve has nothing to do with the AC and shouldn't be a factor. Most Ac air handlers have only one 3/4" PVC condensate drain line from the pan. What is the function of the second one, where does it originate and what does it tie in to? I hate to heavy up on the AC guy but your not getting the answers that you should and now you're going to be socked for a new handler? I would seriously began to think about a second opinion before I went into a lot of expense. Somebody isn't being upfront with you and If it were me that would piss me off no end. I've been a plumber for over 50 years and when I tell you the only way for the liquid in a trap to blow back is if someone with a air bottle interjected a blast of compressed air or dropped a cherrybomb down the lavatory vent into the drainage system you better believe me Pilgrim. You're not getting the whole story and if you're not then I wouldn't rest (or kick out any money) until you do. Regards, Tom
