Displaying Are Records 12076 to 12100 of 13602
12/8/22: The humidity level was still 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. Photo of the section of drywall removed by the front door. Front porch floor is lifted & the screen door is damaged. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance.12/8/22: Water stains on the kitchen, dining room, living room & lanai ceilings. Small sections of the roof are tarped. Palm tree in front yard is braced. There is still a tree down on the left side of the house along the wood line.
12/7/22: Pool pump draws from the bottom drain per client. Weeds beginning to grow in the cracks of the driveway, reported last service call. I believe the armadillo fall out front in the landscaping which has been dormant may be active. I kick some debris down into the throat to see if it’s cleared out the next time I come back.
12/7/22: I walked the house twice at the end to be sure all valves and showers were off. I also made sure the toilets were not running either. I do this because the water main is to remain on. The work in the living room appears to be finished. There was a receipt for insulation work stuck in the door I brought it inside it does say paid, photo below.
12/7/22: The left sink in the master bathroom has the left handle off.
12/7/22: There was a small package at the front door, I brought it inside, photo below.
12/7/22: Poured 4oz of vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube and then chased with 8 ounces of water.
12/7/22: I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube then chased with water.
12/7/22: I started the car and let it idle during the service call. The bugs found on the window side of the master bedroom and on the window sills have not returned. Your water has a distinct smell beginning on the hot water side of your system. This indicates bacteria in the water heater that needs to be flushed out. The short term solution would to be run the water on the hot water side through each of the Fossetts of your home until the smoke clears and the bacterial water has been flushed. The other way is to have a plumber come and flush the water heater from the bottom of the tank itself. The first option is something that you can do when you get here or I could do if you wanted me to stop by before you come into town. Normally you will have to run it for at least a half an hour to 45 minutes maybe even an hour. No kitchen ceiling work has started.
12/7/22: Couldn’t run water through exterior fridge door it just wouldn’t come out as reported previously. I did not run water through the garbage disposal side but I did run the disposal for 2 seconds. Screens have been repaired. Tree is still down on the side yard. The humidity is better so I turned the thermostat back to 77°.
12/7/22: Home under renovation from flood damage. New sod out front and being watered by your neighbors to the left. I moved the thermostat from 72° to 74° based upon the past two service calls and the humidity inside the house. I spoke with your neighbor that has the corner lot he let me know that your pool pump was running 24 seven. He had spoken to your pool person and it appears he turned the pump off at the timer box because it needs a new timer according to your neighbor. So that’s simply an FYI. The other thing this neighbor said was he thought it was pretty sure you wanted a new filter put in the pool however he’s unaware of it ever being replaced so you may want to check with the pool company.
12/7/22: Poured 2oz of bleach in each toilet.
12/7/22: Water heater fitting damp 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. I tagged the pipe below and the sink faucet and also placed a plastic tub below the trap to catch any water.
12/7/22: Several pieces of mail none appeared important. The bushes mentioned last report have been trimmed.
12/7/22: Watered the 1 interior plant. Watered all the plants on the lanai.
12/7/22: While 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. I did make sure the system was cooling by turning the thermostat down long enough to kick on the AV and test the air temp coming out of the vents, they were well into the mid 60s.
12/7/22: Poured vinegar down the HVAC condensation evac tube then chased with some water. Brought in several pieces of mail none appeared important.
12/7/22: The alarm went off as I tried to exit before I could get out the garage door. I must walk too slowly with a combination that I stopped at the thermostat because the humidity was a little higher than I like to see it. The humidity inside at 62.5% it is early morning at 100% humidity outside it wouldn’t expect it to be much lower when the day heats up the air conditioner will kick in and remove that humidity I’m sure.
12/6/22: A new roof has been installed since the last service call see photos below. The humidity level was back under 60% inside the residence after making the last adjustment. I raised the thermostat to 74 for now to save energy. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Privacy fence in backyard has been taken down. Shed roof is damaged. Lanai is damaged. Water stains on ceiling above kitchen sink have not changed in appearance. Water stains on master bedroom & bathroom ceilings have not changed in appearance.

Will continue to monitor closely. Front entrance light is damaged. Soffit damage around entire residence. Pool cage screens damaged. Pool pump is leaking.
12/6/22: Put the empty recycling can back inside the garage. The regular garbage can was still full of debris so I put it back down by the street for collection. The pool pump appears to still be leaking see photos below. The pool water level was slightly low. I ran the hose in it during the entire service call to help bring the water level up. There are a couple screen tools on the bottom of the pool photo below. Made sure the water heater, range & ice maker were off. There is light showing through the ceiling above the left side of the garage overhead door see photos below. Soffit damage on front of house.

Soffits damaged in several locations around the 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.
