12/1/22: Poured 4oz of vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube and then chased with water. The dehumidistat was set to on I said it to 55%. The thermostat was set to 80° I said it to 75°. The water main valve was on upon arrival I turned it off upon departure. It appears that you have had some sort of issue with your water heater and a possible leak. The overflow tray is damp but not wet with standing water. This could indicate that the overflow valve may be leaking or that the liner is beginning to leak ever so slightly. It may be a good idea to have a plumber take a look at this, photo below. There is no immediate danger of a massive water leak as the water valve is off however if the tank gives way 30+ gallons will be on the floor. I
12/1/22: Humidity at the far point of the living room almost to the large windows 61.9% humidity and 77.1 temp. I move the thermostat down to 72° leaving dehumidistat at 55%. By doing this the system turned on immediately and began to call which will eventually remove the humidity that we have an issue with and then shut off once the humidity reaches 55% or lower inside the condo.
12/1/22: The freezer portion of the refrigerator in the kitchen is not working. Client advised freezer is being repaired soon. The refrigerator section was still on & cold. The damaged garage overhead door has not been replaced yet. Damaged front porch screen has not been replaced yet. Checked all damp rids.
12/1/22: Poured vinegar down the HVAC condensation evac tube and then chased with water.
12/1/22: There is a pile of sand/sawdust at the French doors, when I opened the door about 3 black ants went scurrying, photos below, just like last service call. I killed them.

12/1/22: 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 75 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly.

12/1/22: Checked the water pan in the ac return vent.
12/1/22: I partially opened those closets that I could so as to help promote airflow in the closets, photos below. I lifted the toilet seats and lids as well to promote airflow and prevent mildew growing. I move the thermostat down to degrees from 80° to 78° based on the 61.7% humidity inside. This is a frequent occurrence this time of year when the temperature outside rarely reaches the temperature of the setting of the thermostat inside which means the system does not run. The system needs to run in order to remove the humidity. We’ll try to 78° setting and see what his next service call.
12/1/22: Paper towel was stuffed in the kitchen sink drains, pulled ran and replaced. The toilet in the bathroom behind the kitchen flushed this service call. The HVAC air handler was and is running during the service call, however the air temperature coming from all of the vents is over 79°. This indicates that the system while it does run is not cooling and should be probably looked at by a technician. The humidity level inside your condo is not a huge concern at this point as it’s just a little above 60% and that’s what most homes have been running today with the extreme humidity outside and the lower temperatures outside as well.
12/1/22: Made sure the water heater, oven & ice maker were off. Pool cage & screens damaged. Gutter downspout laying on ground front left corner of house. Shingles missing & lifted on roof. Ripples in the shingles on front of house.
