We have a central ac unit located in our laundry room. there are two pvc pipes coming out one that is supposed to be for overflow, and the other connects to a pipe and the water runs outside.

The first time we had a problem they came out and blew out the line, it worked for about a month, now we have the same problem. We disconnected it and ran water through everything seems to be ok for the moment.

Is therea better way or a deeper problem that keeps causing it to leak?

Probably algae build up in the condensate pan/drain lines. If you don't mind getting dirty, you can remove by hand. Algaecide will prevent this from occuring. Also, if the air filter is especially dirty, it will not allow the condensate to drain.

Depending upon age it could be a cracked evaporator drain pan.
