    You can use a water hose in reverse but be careful.
    You can use a wet and dry vac to try and pull the line clear.
    If you have holes in the drain pan I suggest you call now for professional help. The situation will get worse and if you have a furnace under the coil the heat exchanger can also be damaged.
