I put 1 iron out tablet into the tank of each toilet for iron buildup prevention. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance. The master bathroom toilet has a crack in the bowl on the top of the right side.5/18/21: The humidity level was still well below 60% inside the residence when I arrived. I raised the ac thermostat to 77 for now. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. The garage overhead door needs a new weather stripping on the bottom which is ok to wait until client returns to replace.

Will try to keep the humidity level around 60% inside the residence to save the client on their energy bill & also prevent any mold from setting up without the worry of the portable dehumidifier leaking again. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly. There is a section of floor tiles approximately 3’x 3’ in the den by the front door that are starting to raise, I have tagged them as such.
