The utility room closet light was on & the master bathroom spa tub motor was running dry. I turned off the light & spa tub motor. Someone also turned on several breakers in the breaker panel including the refrigerator & did not close the refrigerator doors so the refrigerator was running with the doors open when I arrived.

The downstairs guest bathroom sink cold water supply valve has started to leak when turned on see photo below. I shut the valve off & tagged it as such. The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence. I lowered the thermostat to 74 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. There appears to still be an active water leak somewhere in the living room by the kitchen. There was still a damp water stain on the floor photo below. Drywall construction progress photos below.

Faint water stains on the kitchen, dining room, living room & lanai ceilings have not changed in appearance since the last service call. Will continue to monitor closely.
2/1/23: The water main valve to the home does not have a handle so there’s no way to turn the water off. Off is the position I prefer. Since we can’t turn it off I walked the house twice to make sure all faucets, valves and toilets were not running.
2/1/23: I started the car and let it idle during the service call. There is a note on the door regarding keys and a car in parking area out front (Florida plates). I called the client to ensure the condo was vacant.
2/1/23: Home under renovation from flood damage. The master bath toilet tank is leaking very slightly but it shouldn’t matter because the tank valve is turned off. Some weeds growing in the cracks of the pavers around the pool. Someone has been in your home because the numbers on the lockbox were 4495 and I always sent them to 5555 just for this reason. Also looks like a few things have been moved around. It was a mail but it was all flyers. No change in the pool pump sound as far as I’m concerned if you would like I have a video I can send you so you can hear for yourself just let me know.
2/1/23: Water heater fitting damp and corroded at threads as reported previously. Gopher tortoise hole under the one corner of the pool cage is active. The right kitchen sink trap is leaking at the metal sink nut, photo below. Photo below of another freshly dug hole near the gas main. This brings the numbers to 3 barmit holes that I can see on the property. The 2 most recent appear to be armadillo holes.
2/1/23: The pool is lower than I prefer to see it, about an inch from the bottom of the skimmer port, however the pump is not running? I would maybe check with the pool company and see if they can divert the pool pump fill from the skimmer to the bottom drain that way there’s no need to worry about it running dry. I turn the thermostat on and set it at 74° because your humidity is fairly high and I want to be able to pull that down and keep it down. This time of year temperatures inside rarely get above the mid 70s sitting at 74° ensures that are run a few times during the day.
