Just had mine fixed, it is not a blocked A/C drain. The water is actually running back along the drain back into the car. There is supposed to be a 90 degree bend at the end of the drain line that points downward and allows the condensation to drip down. There is a tendency for this to fall off and the water actually runs back along the condensation line through the firewall and onto the driver side floor board. This happens because there is only foam insulation around the exiting drain line. The fix is simple but a PITA to do. Once you find the condensation line coming out of the firewall get some silicone and seal up around the line where it exits. You can do this from the top of the car or jack it up and do it from under the car. You can also find a piece of hose that will fit over the line and slide it over the line and extend it down as well. I just did the first part and there was no more water under the carpet. Prior to that I had to dry out the car every time I ran the A/C. Good Luck, I notice immediate results so once you do it then you don’t even have to wait for the silicone to completely cure. Just make sure that you do not get silicone inside the drain line.

There is also a thread here on that same issue, I will see if I can find it.
