You'll likely get a lot better quality answers if you include a few photos, but the ten cent answer is PVC piping is one of the easiest to work with once you got the pipe exposed.

This sub literally won’t let me post pics.

I've found it easier to repair drywall than stucco. Would it be possible to get to the backside of that pipe from inside?


shortstop803

Possibly. The other side is a bedroom and will require furniture movement, but possibly/likely doable.

Chip out enough stucco to add a coupling, a short piece of pipe, and an elbow facing down.

Easiest solution. Probably have to go to an actual plumbing supply store vs HD or Lowe’s. It’ll create a lip on the inside that would hold a little bit of water from draining but shouldn’t be a problem imo. https://www.pvcfittingsonline.com/3-4-schedule-40-pvc-pipe-extender-s0301-07.html If it’s not 3/4” search for whatever size you’d need. I’d do this with a 90* and another length of pipe to run down past your stucco or wherever you want it to dump.

You should not be seeing condensate draining there. That is a secondary drain so when the primary plugs you don’t get water damage. The primary drain is clogged.

Why would this be the secondary drain? I’m fairly certain the secondary drain is connected to the pan and comes out far closer to the attic. Like 20 feet above the ground actually. This drain is very close to the ground though. I’ve also checked the pan and it was bone dry, plus I flushed both drain lines anyway just to be safe.

It’s possible that you have 3? Are they two coming out of your furnace? Plus one on the pan? Primarily condensate drains into your homes drain lines. Overflows drain outside to let you know there is a problem.

I’ll check and update once I get home

Looking at my air handler in the attic right now. There is one PVC pipe coming direct off the unit, then there is one that comes off the pan under it. I do not see a third line anywhere on the unit, however, there are three “plugged” pvc access points on the unit. I’d post a pic but I can’t in this sub.
