VERT / GREEN
Locate every condensate source and physically trace its discharge.
HVAC, heat-pump and dehumidifier condensate drainage
Map pans, slopes, traps, pumps, possible neutralization, discharge, freeze protection and alarms to prevent leaks, odours and mould.
JAUNE / YELLOW
Poor slope, incorrect trap, dirty pump or freezing discharge can cause overflow and equipment shutdown.
ROUGE / RED
Acidic/corrosive condensate, water near electricity, concealed overflow or non-compliant discharge: professional correction.
Interactive triage
Helps choose the next step; does not replace design, permits or professional diagnosis.
Useful tools and data
- Condensate drain map
- Slope/trap/pump
- Overflow history
What the professional checks
- Verify NPC/local requirements
- Confirm trap/slope/discharge
- Plan overflow/alarm protection
