11/22/22: The humidity level was slightly 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 73 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. The roof of the building is tarped. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. Made sure to turn off all water mains when leaving.11/22/22: Home under renovation from flood damage. Pool cage damaged from storm. I did not activate the alarm. The thermostat was set at 75 but I moved it to 72 as the humidity is high inside the home. Pool has quite a bit of debris on the bottom, photo below. The humidity is high inside your home and it’s going to be hard to regulate especially this time of year because you have one window out on your lanai and all of the open walls. I turned it thermostat down to try to bring it under 65%.
11/22/22: Brought in one piece of mail photo below. Will be bringing all important mail to the post office for forwarding. 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 74 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Mini fridge in living room was on & cold. Checked all light timers. Visual check of the dock. Lanai is completely destroyed. The lawn mower is still secured to something in the lanai debris & covered up. Soffit & gutter downspout damage on front & left side of house. Exterior security cameras are damaged. Monitoring the previous water intrusion through the living room window closely.
11/22/22: Water heater fitting damp at threads as reported. Gopher tortoise hole under the one corner of the pool cage is active as I saw the tortoise coming out of it. The right kitchen sink trap is leaking at the metal sink nut, photo below. I tagged the pipe below and the sink faucet and also placed a plastic tub below the trap to catch any water. The humidity is a bit high today again but that’s been the case in every house I’ve done so far because it’s so humid outside. We’re at that time of year when the outside temperature may not reach higher than the thermostat setting so the system doesn’t run frequently enough to pull the humidity out. The next several days are supposed to be in the 80s so I’m sure that that will change and the humidity will be removed then.
11/22/22: Brought in one piece of mail see photo below. Made sure the water heater, oven & ice maker were off. 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 74 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Soffits damaged on front & left side of house. Monitoring the windows with the previous water intrusion’s closely. One of the pool cage screens is damaged & being held in place with tape. There is a crack in the drywall corner bead several feet long on the coffered ceiling in the kitchen. A section of pool pavers appears to be sinking on the right side of the pool.
11/22/22: Several pieces of mail none appeared important. None of the repairs appear to have been done. Well the humidity is high inside your home today every home that I’ve done has been as well. It’s that time of year when the outside temperature rarely climbs close or above the set temperature inside. So humidity can be high especially if there’s high humidity outside. I suspect that today will reach high enough temperatures that your system will run and pull the humidity out but certainly the next few days which is supposed to be reaching into the 80s so I didn’t make any changes to the thermostat or the humidistat. The bushes on the one side of the house could use some trimming, photo below.
11/22/22: Brought in a manual for a pool pump that was on the lanai when I arrived see photos below. Made sure the water heater & range were off.

Did not find any pool service slips on the lanai or in the green box. Ran the outside shower per the client.
11/22/22: Well the humidity is a bit high inside today it’s to be expected because the temperature outside is lower than what the thermostat is set to and it’s 100% humidity outside. As the day progresses and heats up the system should run and remove the humidity so I don’t see the need to make any changes at this point
11/22/22: Poured vinegar down the HVAC condensation evac tube then chased with some water. Brought in several pieces of mail none appeared important. The water in the guest bedroom sink was a little bit cloudy I ran it until it cleared. The humidity is a bit high but that’s to be expected this time of year with the humidity so high outside and the system not set to lower than the outside temperature. However I expected to be warmer later today and the system will turn on and run and the humidity will be reduced and so it goes this time of year. The front door deadbolt lock worked very hard when I first tried to unlock it, so I sprayed a little WD-40 inside the lock wiped the key and the outside of the lock and it worked much better.
