2/2/23: Drove the vehicle within the community. The tag expires on 3/24. The front door was unlocked 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. Was unable to enter the master bedroom or bathroom as all of the furniture is being temporarily stored in the bedroom blocking access. Damaged garage overhead door has not been replaced yet.2/2/23: Checked all damp rid buckets. Screen torn on front porch. There appears to be some torn window screens as well.
2/2/23: There has been some activity inside the residence since the last service call. The furniture on the front porch has been brought inside & the plastic has been removed from the drywall repair by the front door see photos below. The humidity level was slightly over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence. I found the ac thermostat had been raised to 73 since the last service call & lowered it to 72 for now to mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Front porch floor is lifted & the screen door is damaged. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. Storm shutters are partially open for ventilation.
2/2/23: Removed a Hometeam pest sign dated 1/31 from the front yard. One of the decorative shutters on the right side of the front window by the front door is starting to detach from the wall. 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.
