12/8/21: Damex was inside the residence when I arrived & remediation of the two bedrooms has started photos below. The humidity level was slightly high inside the residence due to all the activity. It should go back down when the damex contractors leave for the day. Removed a problem solved pest sign dated 12/2 from the front yard. There are some large cracks in the stucco above the left side garage see photo below. The pool water level was low almost to the bottom of the skimmer port & the pump was starting to suck in air when I arrived. I ran the hose in the pool during the entire service call to help bring the water level back up. Made sure the water heater, range & ice maker were off. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. Damex had the water main on when I arrived & asked if I could leave it on for them. I instructed them to turn the water main off when they leave.12/8/21: Brought in a large stack of mail, magazines & sales flyers. Sent out all requested documents.

Visual check of the boat photo below.
12/7/21: I walked the house twice at the end to be sure all valves and showers were off. I also made sure the toilets were not running either. I do this because the water main is to remain on. The pool level is at a level of concern and should filled up back to the middle of the skimmer port. I ran water into it for the time I was here but I would suggest contacting the pool company to make them aware the pool will need to be filled this week. I found the garage overhead light on upon arrival, I turned it off.
12/7/21: Found the main water valve on and the hose through the back lanai screen door. I rolled up the last 15 ft of the hose and placed it behind the bushes where it is normally found.
