Drain Pan Restoration Service in Kansas City

Protect your HVAC system, stop leaks, and extend the life of your equipment without the cost of full replacement. Your drain pan, also called a condensate or drip pan, collects the moisture that drips off your HVAC system’s evaporator coil. This water is supposed to flow out through the drain line, but when the pan is damaged or corroded, it can no longer do its job.


Without a working drain pan, excess water can leak into ceilings, walls, or floors. Over time, this can lead to mold, wood rot, water stains, and even damage to your HVAC system itself. That’s why professional drain pan restoration is so important. Instead of paying for a costly replacement, restoration repairs the existing pan and returns it to like-new condition.

How a Damaged Drain Pan Can Wreck Your Home

A failing drain pan might seem like a small problem, but left untreated it can cause:

  • Mold growth in your ducts, which can affect your family’s health
  • Structural damage to drywall, wood framing, or flooring from hidden leaks
  • Poor indoor air quality due to excess moisture and bacterial growth
  • HVAC inefficiency, as the system strains against clogs or standing water
  • Premature system failure, leading to costly replacement instead of repair

Restoration now avoids expensive surprises later.

Signs Your Drain Pan Needs To Be Restored

Many homeowners don’t notice drain pan issues until water damage becomes obvious. Watch for these warning signs:

  • Water leaks or puddles around your HVAC unit
  • Rust spots or corrosion visible inside the pan or on the edges
  • Persistent musty odors coming from your vents or the air handler
  • Visible mold or mildew near the unit or ductwork
  • Water stains on ceilings, walls, or flooring close to the HVAC system
  • Higher indoor humidity or difficulty keeping the home comfortable
  • Clogged or slow drainage from the condensate line
  • Unexplained increases in utility bills, often from the system working harder due to moisture issues

If you notice any of these, it’s time to schedule an inspection. Early action saves money and prevents more serious damage.

Worked Quickly, Quietly, and Efficiently

Our ducts hadn’t been cleaned in 30 years, and we’ve had noticeable difficulties with runny noses and sneezing. They came 20 minutes early, worked quickly, quietly, and efficiently. They were careful while moving equipment and hoses throughout the house, and cleaned up everything when they were finished. It took them about 3 and half hours to complete the job, but this morning we already were able to notice a difference in the ‘clean’ air.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long will a restored drain pan last?

    With professional restoration and regular HVAC maintenance, your drain pan can last for many years before needing additional work.

  • Can all drain pans be restored?

    Not always. If the pan is severely rusted, cracked through, or structurally unsound, replacement may be necessary. We’ll advise you on the best option.

  • Does restoration stop odors or mold?

    Yes. By eliminating standing water and treating surfaces, restoration helps prevent future mold growth and reduces unpleasant odors.

  • Do you clean the drain line too?

    Yes. We make sure the drain line is clear so water flows properly out of the system.

  • Is this a service for both homes and businesses?

    Absolutely. We restore drain pans for residential systems, commercial HVAC units, and even large industrial facilities.
