5/11/22: I turned the water heater off at the circuit breaker. I found the main water valve to the condo and turned it off just to be safe and not sorry. I replaced the door lock batteries with some that I carry just for this reason.5/11/22: Watered the 3 interior plants per instructions. There was no mail in the mailbox.The street lamp out front of your home is on, photo blow. There is a little bit of digging on the one side of the house near the landscaping reported previously.
5/11/22: I walked the house twice to ensure no water was running in sinks, showers, tubs and toilets. Photos of browning lawn are below. I found the water main (photo below) but I’m not sure the pool company could/would find it if they needed to so the water is still on to the house. The pool pump audio equipment around it is leaking slightly photo below. I moved the remote thermostat in the guest house up 1° to 77° based on the humidity level today.
5/11/22: Some browning of the yard, photos below. Sink had standing water in it, photo below.
5/11/22: Walked the house twice to ensure the water faucets were off to all showers, tubs, and sinks. I turned the valve to each toilet tank off because the client wants to leave the water main on.
5/11/22: Could not run tub in master bathroom as it is not installed. Shower head off in guest bathroom shower.
5/11/22: The water heater has one fitting that is corroded considerably and appears to have moisture around the threads at the base.
5/11/22: Browning of the yard, photos below. Several letters from Wells Fargo and one from the Sarasota County Tax Department see photo below.
5/11/22: On my walk around the home prior to entry I observed the outside condensing unit running yet the HVAC condensate tube was dry and the ground around it was dry. This always indicates that there’s a problem with the AC. Upon entering your home I immediately was hit with very warm air too warm for the AC just not cooling or not operating properly. Upon walking to the thermostat immediately I saw that your thermostat was reading 99° which was the top of it settings. Your air handler was running and the door and the handles to that door that closes the closet or the air handler is contained were very very hot. Below you’ll see a photo of the thermostat as I found it when I first got there. I ran the water exceptionally long in all of the drains and flushed the toilets twice because the water in the toilets was just about dry. I am assuming that the traps were in the same situation from the excessive dry heat inside your home. I shut the system off at the thermostat and then after approve time the air handler shut off as well. I waited around a bit just to see if I could determine or smell anything hot or boring and could not.
5/11/22: Poured vinegar down the HVAC condensation evac tube then chased with some water. Brought in several pieces of mail none appeared important.
5/11/22: I watered 3 plants on the lanai as indicated by the moisture. The hibiscus plant had some moisture but just barely in the green. Th two in the photo below were absolutely dry. There were no Pinch-a-Penny pool service tickets on the lanai that I could see
5/11/22: Unplugged the toothbrush in the master bathroom per the client. Brought in two pieces of mail with a magazine see photo below. Removed all sales flyers per the client. The pool water level was slightly low. I ran water from the hose in it during the service call to help keep the water level up. There is a hairline crack in the stucco starting to show through underneath the right side of the back guest bedroom window. The smoke detectors are missing from all the ceilings throughout the residence. Checked the light timer in the living room. The left side lanai screen door is locked. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance.
5/11/22: Put both garbage cans down by the street for collection. The top screw on the left side sliding glass door handle is stripped & will not tighten causing the door handle to be loose see photo below. Swept cobwebs from around the rear exterior light. Picked up the key from the kitchen counter. Made sure all breakers with a green sticker were off. Client advised that the roof is going to be replaced.
5/10/22: I ran water in the pool while I was providing service. Photos of the cleaning job that we discussed last week. I found quite a bit dirty yet. It seems they dusted in front of but not behind items. Under the master bed and the sofa out in the living room it doesn’t even appear that it was swept/dust mopped let alone mopped and there’s some sort of a sticky substance on the counter in the utility room. Dirty palm print at eye level on the wall as you walk in the front door, can’t miss it. Photos below to show you what I mean.
5/10/22: Brought all important mail to the post office for forwarding. Photo of the receipt with tracking number below.
5/10/22: Brought all important mail to the post office for forwarding. Mail sent priority. Photo of the receipt with tracking number below.
5/10/22: 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. I installed the battery maintainer on the car battery that I purchased today. FYI the light on the maintainer should be a solid green if full charged, it should blink green if the charge is above 80%. Currently it is solid red which indicates the battery is being charged but has less than 80% charge.
5/10/22: The new tile grout is starting to crack in the corners of the master bathroom shower. I have tagged it as such.
5/10/22: I moved the thermostat back to 78° today because of the humidity level of the condo had dropped below to 60% that I like to see it at. I will monitor going forward.
5/10/22: Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. Made sure to turn off all water mains when leaving. Car has been removed from parking space.
5/10/22: The humidity level was over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence when I arrived. I lowered the thermostat to 77 for now to circulate air & mitigate the high humidity level. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. The water stains on the garage ceiling have not changed in appearance since the last service call. Will continue to monitor closely. Checked all light timers. Both door handles are unlocked. The wood is rotting along the outside the back of the lanai. No mailbox.
5/10/22: Turned off the water heater and water main valve. Took sandwiches from the refrigerator as requested. Some browning in the yard, photos below.
5/10/22: Made sure the water heater was off. The ac thermostat was missing & in the off position when I arrived see photo below. The ac air filter is extremely dirty & will need to be replaced when construction is complete. The entire inside of the residence has been gutted for remodel. The pool pump filter canister is still leaking from a pipe on the side of it see photo below. The garage side entry door is rusted on the bottom & there is a large hole in the bottom of the door. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance.
5/10/22: The left sink in the master bathroom has both valves off. I turned the cold water on long enough to fill the trap but then I shut it off. The mini split is reading EC on the front. The water main valve is very rusted and about to snap off, photo below. Based on the humidity and the settings from last year’s report I moved the thermostat up to 77. The tiny lamp in the hall is on and the exterior garage light is on too.
5/10/22: A large section of screen on west side of the lanai is loose from what appears to be dry rotted screen spline not holding it in place anymore see photos below. New screen spline is recommended. Will contact the client & advise them of the situation. The guest bathroom sink is tagged for a leaking trap. Turned the water main off to the house only when leaving. No mailbox.
