12/16/22: The humidity level was still over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence from the ac not turning on enough throughout the day due to lower outside temperatures. I lowered the thermostat to 74 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Water stains on mid guest bedroom ceiling have not changed in appearance since the last service call. Will continue to monitor closely. Photo of the pool below.12/15/22: Drive by. Brought all important mail to the post office for forwarding. Photo of the receipt with tracking number below.
12/15/22: Poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate line and chased with water as requested. That was the last of the vinegar in the gallon jug. The humidity inside is just a bit high but it’s not uncommon this time of year when the temperature is so low outside your system just doesn’t run frequently enough to pull the humidity when set at 78°.
12/15/22: The damaged garage overhead door has been removed since the last service call allowing the vehicle to be driven. The freezer portion of the refrigerator was working again when I arrived but the refrigerator section was warm. There was a service alert on the display panel see photo below. The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence from the ac not turning on enough throughout the day due to lower outside temperatures. I lowered the thermostat to 72 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Damaged front porch screen has not been replaced yet. Checked all damp rids.
12/15/22: The humidity is a fairly high I think it’s a combination of facts as it’s very humid outside and you have your walls open which is making it possible for the humidity to get inside. To mitigate I turned the thermostat down to 73 and also I checked to make sure that your vents are blowing cold air they are.
12/15/22: Humidity is very high and I don’t understand why, you may want to consider getting an AC tech in to check it.
12/15/22: The humidity level was still over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence when I arrived from the ac not turning on enough throughout the day due to lower outside temperatures. I lowered the thermostat to 74 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. The inside of the residence has not changed in appearance since the last service call. Almost the entire inside of the residence is gutted from remediation. Damaged garage overhead door has not been replaced yet. Surge water from the storm appears to have risen several inches in the garage storage room. Sections of drywall have been cut out of the garage storage room. Put the key back in the lockbox when leaving.
12/15/22: The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence when I arrived from the ac not turning on enough throughout the day due to lower outside temperatures. I lowered the thermostat to 73 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Checked the water pan in the ac return vent.
12/15/22: When I opened the French doors about 3 black ants went scurrying, I killed them. I swept up the sawdust and various other bug issues around the condo.
12/15/22: Pool cage & screens damaged. Gutter downspout laying on ground front left corner of house. Shingles missing & lifted on roof. Ripples in the shingles on front of house.
12/15/22: I poured 4oz of ounces of vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube then changed with water. There were gnats in the drain of the garbage disposal so I found some bleach cleaner sprayed it in it real good then turned it on and ran water through it hopefully that will kill most of them. I couldn’t find a gallon of bleach which is what I really like to use but I use the next best thing that had bleach in it.
12/15/22: Humidity at the far point of the living room almost to the large windows 61.5% humidity and 72.8 temp. Your humidity inside the condo is still higher than I like to see it but the system is running and cooling and extracting humidity it’s not as high as it was last service call and it is extremely humid outside today so I believe we’re doing all we can at this point.
12/15/22: Was unable to access the residence today. The entire building was taped off for construction when I arrived & a crane was in front of the building see photos below.
12/15/22: Poured vinegar down the HVAC condensation evac tube and then chased with water. The humidity is slightly high, I like to see it under 60% however it’s a very humid day outside and the temperature has not even reached the setting of 78° of what you have for the interior. If I have this humidity level continues we may wanna think about moving the thermostat down to 76°.
12/15/22: The humidity level was still over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence when I arrived. I lowered the thermostat to 73 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Checked the light timer in the living room. Checked all damp rid buckets throughout the residence. Attic access cover is open in the lanai storage room. Some soffit damage on lanai from fallen tree. Turned off both water main handles when leaving.
12/15/22: Water stains on the kitchen, dining room, living room & lanai ceilings. Small sections of the roof are tarped. Palm tree in front yard is braced. There is still a tree down on the left side of the house along the wood line.
12/15/22: The humidity is a bit high but that’s not uncommon this time of day and this time of year when we have the thermostat set so high in this case 83° and the temperature outside is 77 and the temperature inside is 77°. The system just never runs and so humidity builds inside the house. We may consider moving that thermostat down for this time of year it should be somewhere around 76, 77 or 78°
12/15/22: Paper towel was stuffed in the kitchen sink drains, pulled ran and replaced. The toilet in the bathroom behind the kitchen flushed this service call. The HVAC air handler ran during the service call, however the air temperature coming from all of the vents is over 76. This indicates that the system while it does run is not cooling and should be probably looked at by a technician. The humidity level inside your condo is above 66%. I spoke with the client he suggested leaving the system run until his AC people can get here to look at it. I will leave the lockbox at the front door.
12/15/22: I moved the thermostat down to degrees from 78° to 76° based on the 61.7% humidity inside. This is a frequent occurrence this time of year when the temperature outside rarely reaches the temperature of the setting of the thermostat inside which means the system does not run. The system needs to run in order to remove the humidity. The system is cooling as I turned it down to make sure each of the vans I checked were in the mid-60s or lower.
12/15/22: The dehumidifier read 45. I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube I then chased it with water. There were dead ants on the master bedroom window sill and I found some along the guest bedroom wall on the floor under the night light, I swept these up.
12/14/22: Shut water off to the pool
12/14/22: The master bathroom sink closest to the toilet has very little water flow. I found no pest or evidence of pest upstairs in the attic. One section of the child safety gate around the pool was not latched, I latched it.
12/14/22: Pool pump draws from the bottom drain per client. Weeds beginning to grow in the cracks of the driveway, reported last service call. The armadillo hole out front is not being used by an armadillo as most of the big stuff is still in front of the hole but it has been moved around a bit. Maybe a rabbit, snake, or other animal but certainly not an armadillo.
12/14/22: I made sure all toilet valves are off, all the faucets and shower heads were off as well. The humidity inside is relatively high but it’s also a very humid day it’s not uncommon for homes to be running a bit high. However your house is running consistently higher than 60% humidity, I believe this is because your fan continues to run on the HVAC air handler even after the system ends the cooling cycle. I looked on the thermostat to see if I could find an auto setting for the fan but there isn’t one that I can see. I can tell you from experience that when a system has the fan running but not cooling humidity will build. Maybe the issue doesn’t present itself in the summer because it runs so frequently but currently it is not running frequently because of the temperature outside. I can’t tell you when the system does run it is cooling well into the lower 60s within the supply vents. Your pool level is very low, so I am running water into it while I go provide service in communities down the street. You are the only house this week in SN so I will have to drive back this direction from Island Walk.
12/14/22: The humidity level was back under 60% inside the residence after making the last adjustment. Kayak battery is connected to battery charger. Monitoring the water stain on the kitchen ceiling & the previous water intrusion on master bedroom left side window. Roof tiles missing on building.
