8/10/23: New roof construction progress photos below. Checked the water pan in the ac return vent.8/10/23: Checked all damp rid buckets. Storm shutters on lanai are closed.
8/10/23: The dehumidifier was running and read 31. The thermostat says that it needs to shut down to recharge the batteries. The thermostat is reading 79 as a setting in 79 as a temperature but both of my tools, my hygrometer and my temperature infrared gun say it’s about 84 1/2° in here, humidity is at 42% 43% so that’s very very good and there’s no reason to concern yourself. However when I click the button that says OK to recharging the batteries for the thermostat it doesn’t do anything it just goes to a black screen, so I’m not sure what’s going on with it.
8/10/23: Brought in a trugreen service slip dated 8/9 see photo below. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. Gutter downspout damaged on front left corner of house. 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.
8/10/23: I brought in several pieces of mail none looked important. The humidity upstairs is much better today. The humidity downstairs is borderline. However it’s earlier than I normally do you so it could be the system just turned on it was cooling so I have no doubt the humidity will be better very soon The lawn has not been mown since the last time I was here. It is not excessive but will require mowing to keep the city happy I think.
8/10/23: Brought in one piece of mail see photo below. Weeds are building up in all the landscape beds & along the seawall see photos below.
8/10/23: I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensation evac tube and then chased it with water. I poured a few ounces of bleach in each toilet.
8/10/23: The inside of the residence has not changed in appearance since the last service call. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. The kitchen, dining room, living room, master bedroom & guest bathroom have all been gutted for remediation. Currently unable to run water inside the residence per management. Lanai ceiling fan is damaged. Exterior wall & garage overhead door damaged. Mailbox key has been given to management.
8/9/23: Pool house temperature is 79.8 and humidity is 46.2%. Water heater is an on demand unit. The water must remain on so client can fill the pool remotely. The pool level is managed by the homeowner remotely. I made sure all water faucets and toilets were not running. The utility room sink is leaking at the trap. The garbage disposal is frozen, reported previously. The home was closed up properly.
8/9/23: I poured 4oz of ounces of vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube and chased with water.
8/9/23: The outer room readings are 57.9% humidity and 85.6° temp. I see no reason to make any changes today. These are acceptable numbers. The smoke detector is chirping in the master bedroom, reported previously.
8/9/23: I poured 4oz of vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube and then chased with water. The ant situation is about the same as before.

8/9/23: I found a live palmetto bug in the guest bathroom toilet. I flushed it and then cleaned the toilet. I also put toilet bowl cleaner in both toilets to poison the water. Update on the damp-rid buckets. All damp-rid buckets are about half used up. The exception is the guest bathroom where it is 3/4 used up.
8/9/23: Someone tried or actually gained access to the key box. I know this because I put the numbers in a specific sequence when I finish so that I’ll know if anybody’s either attempted or actually gained access to the key box.
8/9/23: Brought in three pieces of mail with a stack of sales flyers see photos below. The pool pump was on & running. Client advised that the roof & lawn are being addressed. Visual check of the boat photo below.

8/9/23: The carpeting where the damp rid bag leaked is still oily.

8/9/23: Electrical panel has a note not to touch any breakers without first consulting the client. I inspected but did not touch the moisture deflector for the coils on the HVAC air handler, still appears to be working, no water dripping onto the top of the water heater. Saw a half dozen gecko droppings but did not see/find a gecko. The coils on the HVAC air handler appear to be frosting up, reported previously but no worse than before. The smoke detector in the hallway is chirping. I found a 9 V battery in the kitchen drawer and replaced it but it still continues to charge so I’m not sure if that battery battery was any better than the one I pulled out.
8/9/23: The humidity level was slightly over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence when i arrived. I lowered the humidistat to 50% for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. One of the garbage cans in the garage has some landscaping debris in it. Mini fridge in coffee bar is off. Mini fridge in the utility room is off. All storm panels are on. Visual check of the boat photo below.
8/9/23: Master bathroom sink leaks at the bottom of the ball where the threads meet from the P-trap. I have tagged both the faucet and underneath where the leak is coming from. There’s a tub down below there so it looks like maybe this leaked before?
8/9/23: The lawn has some browning in the front yard see photos below. The concrete privacy wall by the garage side entry door is starting to separate from the side of the house see photo below. The pool water level was slightly low when i arrived. I ran the hose in it during the service call to help bring the water level up. Made sure the water heater, oven & ice maker were off.
