Default 94 accord flooding inside

Okay, this 94 Accord LX is in primo condition. 99k, manual trans, no mods.
We made a trip from Vegas to Oregon, about a thousand miles, with no problem. A/C running the whole way up. Drove around a week, no problem. We start the drive back and about 100 miles into our return trip, water starts dripping on my lady's foot, passenger side, whenever we turn slightly.
We stop, take a look. Cant see much under the pass. dash or behind glovebox, but we decide it's an AC issue - condensation is pooling and running off when we get out of center, and it's cold h2o, like condensed water would be. We think.
We press on and the problem continues. All other systems seem to be functioning nomally, engine temp fine, and AC seems to be cooling fine. But the volume of water seems insane. It winds up soaking the ENTIRE passenger floorboard.
Anyway, got home safe, no problems at all with the car except that it's flooding inside. The next day, my lady drove the car about 5 miles and said that the water started dripping on her foot, DRIVER side, now. We haven't messed with it for about 3 days.
Before I take it to the mechanic, i'd like to hear if anyone has experienced this or heard of it and what this issue was or could be.

Thank you for your time. Be well.

Well, I haven't had this problem with my Accord, BUT, I've had the exact same problem with a pickup I owned some years back. The problem was that the heater core inside the cab had sprung a leak. I fixed mine by disconnecting the two heater hoses under the hood that went to the core inside. I had no heat, but it was summer and I was trying to sell it anyway. This would be the first thing I would check if I were you.

you don't have to take the dash apart to "unflood" it. all you have to do is raise the car, crawl underneath, and unlcog the drain tube. It should be located near the firewall on the pass side. I usually use my air compressor to clear the tube.

i had the same problem and this is what i did to unclug the drain hose and evaporator disconect the drain hose from under the dash.get a piece of wire bring it up to the evaporator and push it in and out a few times (go nice an easy you dont want to damage the fins on the evap) some dirt will come out and the water will run again freely.reconnect hose and your done.
