That water leaves through a small drain line that can clog, freeze, or back up, leaving you with a shutdown furnace or a puddle near the equipment. Here is a simple seasonal check for Hudson homeowners, plus the signs that the line needs a drain pro.

It clumps, grabs soap scum, and slips past plenty of standard strainers. For Hudson households with dogs and cats, a room-by-room drain routine can head off recurring clogs—and reveal when a slowdown is more than fur.
