    Air-conditioner condensate pipe backflow

    Symptom
    A Mapo-gu property had water leaking around an indoor air-conditioner whenever the unit ran.
    Diagnosis and work
    The condensate line was traced to an incorrect connection and internal sludge. It was cleaned, separated to its own outlet and regraded for natural drainage.

    Typical local issues

    • Restaurant and bar kitchen lines solid with cooking grease
    • Older multi-family houses with shared, undersized stacks
    • Share-house and guesthouse bathrooms with heavy hair build-up
    • Repeated backflow on ground and basement floors

    For shops and restaurants we come after closing time so the next day's business is not affected — several of our reviews mention exactly this.

    Costs and approval before work

    Drain, toilet and sink unblocking starts from ₩55,000. The final quote depends on the blockage location, access, equipment and work required. Photos help with an initial estimate; hidden or shared-pipe problems may need an on-site inspection. Ask us to confirm the total charge, VAT, any visit/inspection fee and any additional work before you approve the job.

    Rental homes and shared drains

    If you rent, contact your landlord or building manager before authorising work when possible. Shared drains and repeated backflow may require building-level coordination. Responsibility for payment depends on the cause and your rental arrangements; we cannot determine it from a message alone. Send the symptoms and photos and tell us whether the landlord or manager is involved.

    Questions we get in this area

    I run a restaurant. Can you come after we close?

    Yes. We work through the night, so we can come after closing time and finish before the next day's service. Several of our reviews are from exactly this kind of job.

    Why does my kitchen line keep blocking every few months?

    Cooking oil cools and hardens on the pipe wall, narrowing it a little more each time until food waste catches. Clearing the blockage alone does not remove that layer — high-pressure jetting restores the pipe to its full diameter, which is why scheduled cleaning lasts much longer than repeat unblocking.
