10/12/21: There was 1/4” of water in the water heater drain pan when I arrived see photo below. I could not find where the water came from & not sure if the water heater is leaking. Will contact the client to advise them of the situation. While I was inspecting the water heater I discovered that the washable ac air filter above the water heater was dirty & tried to remove it to clean it but it was difficult to remove as it was being held up in the back. I was finally able to remove the air filter & found that the coil for the air handler has fallen on the back right corner & fell onto the air filter holding it in place see photos below. I washed the air filter & contacted the client. The air filter is being blocked from being installed in the back right corner but I was able to get it in for now.

10/12/21: 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.
