View Full Version : Gelatinous Goo?

OK, pardon the extreme lack of technical terms in this post...

Inspecting a rental the other day I came across a puddle of light brown/orangish goop at the back corner of the house. I assumed that some stray animal had gotten sick there so I took the hose to it and didn't think much more about it.

A few days later the tenant tells me it's back again. (More than slightly debunking my puking animal theory.)

Anyway, turns out that the A/C drain had been inadvertantly buried and where this goo was is where the end of the pipe was.

I unburied and unclogged it, flushed the line with bleach and propped the pipe up with a brick.

Is there anything else that needs to be done and what on earth could the gelatinous globs of goop have been??

Probably just all the crud and junk that often collects in those lines; dead insects and their eggs, dust etc.
