11/16/22: I made sure all toilet valves are off, all the faucets and shower heads were off as well. The humidity inside is relatively high but it’s also a very humid day it’s not uncommon for homes to be running a bit high. I’d like to see it under 60% but under 65% is no worry for a week or two. The system did run and cool the only other thing we could do is to turn it down a couple of degrees. Let me know if you’d like me to do that and I can run by and do it next week.
11/16/22: I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube then chased with water. Utility light was on hop on arrival I turned it off.

11/16/22: No bugs. Unable to access water main valve as neighbors by block the path end, photo below. Couldn’t jump over the plants on the other side afraid our damage plants trying to access the other direction. I will bring water and carrier from my truck next service call in order to be able to flush the toilets and put water in the drains.
11/16/22: The MB toilet runs continuously ever so slightly so I shut it off at the valve. I move the thermostat down to 76 as the humidity is borderline. It’s mainly borderline because it’s a very humid day however this time of year also the AC doesn’t run as frequently so 76° is probably best.
11/16/22: I ran just enough water in the right side kitchen sink which is leaking to fill the trap. I didn’t see any leaking this service call.
11/16/22: The dehumidifier had an error code of F0 on it I unplugged it and then plugged it back in to reset it. Dehumidifier read 55 after the reset and was running. Poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube I then chased it with water. There were 3 to 4 dozen dead black ants on the windowsills of the guest bedroom and guest bathroom. I cleaned them up let’s see if they return and that would indicate we may have a problem, photo below of the one windowsill.
11/16/22: 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 77 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. Kayak battery is connected to battery charger. Monitoring the water stain on the kitchen ceiling & the previous water intrusion on master bedroom left side window. Roof tiles missing on building.
