Re: AC condensate drain arrangement
Here are the condensate drain(s) from today's crawlspace. HVAC was dated 5/2004. House built in 1988

- Primary and secondary share the same pipe.
- Elbow is broken and dumps all the condensate directly into the crawlspace.
- Condensate pipe would run uphill if it wasn't broken
- Resulting puddles create a weather cycle effect so that the crawlspace evaporates enough water for it to condense on the duct work and rain on to the vapor barrier to start the cycle again
- Disconnect panel was beginning to rust a tad
- Some of the ducts were shedding their skin
