Renault Scenic 2003 - Water in heater - gjohnb

My renault Scenic seems prone to collecting water in the heater chamber which on two occasions in the past has meant replacing the heater motor at vast expence! Is there a drain hole that needs clearing out and is a simple way of doing so? My garage seems to think a lot of dismantling is necessary to get at where the water is but any advice from others who might have experienced this problem?
