Properly welded PVC joints are evidenced by either purple or blue traces at every connection and joints from the required primer. Improper solvent welds are prone to failure and thus leakage. BACHIAQ will not be responsible under any circumstances for damages resulting from a failed PVC joint that was not properly joined with a primer and glue solvent weld.

ADDITIONAL CONDENSATION & WATER INFO – NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS

Air Conditioners remove substantial moisture from the air as part of the normal cooling process. When the system is working properly, the water formed called condensation, is drained into the sewer system of your home. Sometimes problems occur and the water does not drain properly, resulting in a condition the industry refers to as a "condensate leak". These leaks could be caused by a blockage within the drain line, failure of a drain pan, or failed joints within the condensate pipe system. These condensate leaks may lead to damage to your home. Potential damage includes but may not be limited to problems with sheetrock, carpet, paint, wood floors, and other materials subject to water damage. It is common for damage from a condensate leak to not show up at the first sign of the leak. To help prevent water damage to your property, BACHIAQ strongly recommends and current building codes require the installation of overflow prevention devices for every HVAC systems’ condensation drain line(s).

In the event of a condensation drain line blockage, BACHIAQ will make every effort to remedy your condensate problem using state-of-the-art methods and highly skilled technicians. BACHIAQ will not be responsible for any damages that occur to your home, resulting from the original leak and water that has accumulated before we arrived or after repairs are made. BACHIAQ is not responsible for any mold or other biological growth that may occur from any water leak(s) inside your home.

Most condensate drains are connected to your sewer system near a sink or bathtub. When it is necessary to use a high-pressure cleaning device (the industry standard) to clean out your condensate drain, it is possible that dirt and debris from the sewer will be discharged through a plumbing fixture. We ask that you place a towel to cover each fixture where such discharge could cause damage or staining of your walls. BACHIAQ will not accept responsibility for any cleaning or painting that may result from such discharge during the cleaning process. Furthermore, when using high-pressure cleaning devices to unstop drains, it is possible that improperly sealed joints within your condensate drain system could come loose.

We will make every effort to inspect all accessible joints within the service area of the equipment where we are conducting our repairs. It is possible, however, that a fitting could come loose outside of the service area, hidden within the insulation, within the wall, or at the sewer connection. BACHIAQ will not be held responsible for any condensate leaks produced due to faulty or improperly installed fittings and condensate drain lines, whether in a visible or concealed location. This includes service repair costs, as well as damage repair costs. In situations such as this, we will be happy to assist you with pictures and written documentation of our findings so that you may contact your insurance company.
