Water was coming up the drain.

Water was coming up the drain.

I was at the dentist office the other day when I noticed the receptionist looked a bit frazzled.

I didn’t want to say anything, but I was keeping my ears open.

She was saying how there was water coming up through the drain in the break room. The air conditioning unit that was in the break room was working worse than usual and there was water dripping onto the carpeting. She asked the nurse if she should call the HVAC company or if there was someone else who could look at the air conditioning unit. The nurse told her she would check with the doctor and see what he thought. I was sure they had a window air conditioner, but it could have also been an indoor AC unit. These were small suites in this building, and I didn’t know if the air conditioning unit were centralized for each suite, or one general unit for the entire building. The more I listened, however, the more concerned I was becoming. I finally walked up to the desk and told them I was a HVAC technician and I would gladly look at the air conditioning unit if they wanted me to. I showed her my credentials and my badge for the HVAC company I worked for. She called the nurse out and said she would be thrilled if I could have a peek at the AC unit. The AC unit was a window unit, and I instantly knew what had happened. The unit was slightly askew and instead of the water draining outside, it was draining inside. I bolstered the AC unit so it was placed properly and told her all she needed to do was dry the carpet.
