9/27/24: No obvious evidence of storm damage to your condo, however there is no power that I have in any condo I've look at here at Aldea Mar
10/14/24: As I discussed on the phone, I found no major obvious storm damage to your townhouse the AC was running a 78 and as we discussed. I moved it to 80°. You have some wind whipped plants out front. I'll send you a photo of that but that's pretty much common from hurricanes they should bounce back.
11/1/24: I poured a bottle of vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube. There is an armadillo hole under the backside of the AC condensing unit, reported previously, it now appears dormant. There is some digging at the back corner on this same side but no den has been made. There is a long aluminum brace on the ground next to the house, reported previously. The water is beginning to smell indicating the water needs to run on the hot side of the system until the water inside the water heater has been completely flushed out before or upon your return. The AC unit is not running. The thermostat was set to 77, I set it to 79 which is the setting that has been used all summer. There is a broken tree branch out back. The large screen was replaced but the old screen was never taken by the screen company. A rain gutter deflector has come down. I placed the deflector in the garage. Photos of all of these below.
11/1/24: Checked to ensure the auto fill shut off, it did. Also the homeowner wanted me to see if the screen repair had been done, it hadn’t.
11/1/24: I am unable to raise the hurricane shutters. I watered the 4 plants on the lanai as requested. Checked all the GFIs. I am unable to fit between the car and tool box to get in front of the electrical panel, reported previously. I could not see any tripped breakers from beyond the car. The pool level was about 1/3 the skimmer report so I ran water while I was providing the service. There are two smoke detectors that are beeping which indicates they need their batteries replaced. One is at the bottom of the stairs and the other is the upstairs smoke detector. The upstairs air conditioner is holding its own as far as temperature and humidity. The air coming from the supply lines is just about 80°, which isn’t efficient. I tested the front door keyless entry. It worked just fine. The garage door brace remains in place.
11/1/24: You have two separate dents in the gutters front and back of the garage, the front one has some minor tile damage, reported previously. The two previous ceiling concerns have not changed as far as I can tell. The light in the garage was on and the door between the house and garage was not locked. The pool level is below the skimmer port. The sight glass for the pool pump is filled to the top. Looks like the pool pump is pulling from a bottom drain. Put a hose in the pool to fill it. I kept the water on because of this. Homeowner’s neighbor will watch and shut off later. There appears to be a small leak in the pool pump area, photo below.
11/1/24: I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube and chased with water. Evidence of drain back up in the master bath shower, reported previously.
11/1/24: The alarm system panel had numerous alerts on the screen concerning low batteries in all of the sensors when I arrived. The sensors on all of the windows & doors do not appear to use batteries & are hardwired in to the same outlet in the man cave closet. I replaced all four AA batteries in the front door keypad with brand new batteries but it was still showing a low battery alert. I rebooted the security system gateway as well but the alerts remained on the screen. Client will address the situation when they return. The holes in the exterior wall from the storm damaged satellite dish on the right side of the house are temporarily covered with duct tape. Client will address when they return. The deadbolt on the mancave exterior french doors has a lot of play in it causing the doors to move approximately 1/4” when it is windy. I placed a bag of salt in front of the doors for now to keep them from moving. Client will address when they return. The plastic gutter downspout extension on the right side of the house is damaged. Did not step on any of the loose tile areas in the kitchen. All ceiling fans are off. Monitoring all old water stains on the ceilings closely. Checked all light timers. Both lanai screen doors are locked. Water softener salt container is empty. Green slip in mailbox.
