There appears to be some damaged roof shingles on the front & back of the house. Left the water main on when leaving for the pool water auto filler.10/5/23: The water main was in the off position when I arrived & all of the debris has been cleaned off the dock since the last service call see photo below. Weeds have been removed from the landscaping beds photo below. There are some new water stains on the kitchen ceiling above the oven see photo below. Turned off sever lights that were on throughout the residence. The humidity level was back under 60% inside the residence after making the last adjustments. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly.
10/5/23: New sheet metal was being installed on the roof of the building & the dining room light was on when I arrived see photo below. I turned the light off before leaving. Water stains on kitchen ceiling have not changed in appearance since the last service call. The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence again from the unit not turning on enough due to lower outside temperatures. I lowered the thermostat to 76 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Poured approximately .5oz of algae guard down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. Checked the light timer in the living room. Checked all small damp rid buckets.

10/4/23: I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube and then chased with water. The drain line was filling up to the funnel as I was putting both the vinegar and the water down the tube. I would have to let it drain some very slowly it would go down. This indicates that your drain line is about to plug completely. If this is allowed to happen, service company would have to come out to one block that drain line at the cost of a minimum hundred to $150. Knowing that it had to be unplugged and that I couldn’t do anything once it was totally plugged as technically it is then an AC problem and I legally would be able to work on it. I brought out my shop vac and I vacuumed the drain line for the AC as this is considered preventative care. What I got out of that line was the most I’ve ever gotten from a system, photo is below. Providing this service is an additional $20 but I felt you would agree it would save you $80 or more. Some dead ants at the living room slider, reported previously. I did not see any live ants.
10/4/23: I started the SUV and it idled during the service call. I poured 4oz of vinegar down the AC drain line then chased with 10oz of water. I set the thermostat to 80 from the 77 that was set to by the AC tech. I removed the lock box from the front door.
