If the backup is not fixed, eventually it will get into your systems evaporator and heater coil and can do serious damage to your system. This happened to me with the drain tube that dumps condensation out of my trucks HVAC system, it’s very nasty.

OOHHH!! Good answer, and thank you for that reminder. I made the mistake a few weeks ago of putting some anchovies in the garbage, a few days before garbage night. Usually I'd freeze something like that and put it out at the last minute.
The garage started to smell like dead fish.
I corrected that issue, however there has been a mysterious lingering "dead animal" smell that I can't pinpoint. I even thought it might be a dead thing in the attic. Yesterday I pulled the stairs down, went up there expecting to find a strong smell of dead thing. Nope, smells fine.
I'll bet it's from the A/C drain.
I'll attend to that and report back.
