5/18/23: The dehumidifier read 49. I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube I then chased it with water.5/18/23: There was water around & underneath the ac air handler inside the residence when I arrived see photos below. The ac condensate drain line was full & the safety float switch on the drain line appears to have failed when the drain line clogged allowing condensate water to back up into the air handler & overflow out onto the water heater below. I turned off the ac for now to quit producing more condensate water & cleaned up all of the water I could with some towels. Will contact the client & advise them of the situation. 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.

5/17/23: The pool level is below the skin report. However, there is water in the pool pump site glass. I talk to the homeowner and she said that the pool people were there yesterday, which is Tuesday. We together assume that the pool pump must be pulling from the bottom drain. The old granite countertop is still on the side of the house. I discussed with the homeowner and I believe the shutters that were cut down to a different size to fit hurricane shutters out front may still be in need of cutting down. I asked her if maybe the handyman tested any shutters to ensure they are size properly. There are two lamps in the dining room that are on and the homeowner said she would be turning them off remotely. Weeds growing in the pool/lanai paver cracks.

Some browning of the grass in the side yard, photo below.
5/17/23: Soon as I walked in the front door, I heard the front left guest bathroom toilet running so that is where we were having the issue with the water.
