I turned on all of the circuit breakers that were turned off. Including the hot water heater and I waited for the water to begin to get hot to ensure it was working.

1/18/23: 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. The ceiling lights in the front bedroom and the master bedroom we’re on, this generally happens when there’s a power failure or lightning strike. I turned them both off. Photo below of the front of the refrigerator in the garage it appears we have some mildew starting on the stainless steel. The valve controlling the water timer for the pool fill needs a new washer it was leaking badly for however long it’s been on I shut the valve off photo below. If you have a higher than usual water bill that may be the culprit, I would call my pool company to make sure they have a new washer installed.

I turned all the circuit breakers that were off on with the exception of the refrigerator per client. I am also leaving the water main on as well. The dishwasher circuit breaker is on however it is unplugged under the sink and the homeowner told me via phone that the water valve is off as well. I walked the house twice to make sure that no water was running in the tubs the sinks or the toilets since we’re leaving the water main on. I ran the water exceptionally long especially through the hot water lines to flush the stagnant water from the water heater. I tested the water on the hot side it is getting warm. I ran the hot water lines longer as they seemed to have more air in them.
