Will need another container of vinegar by next service call. The living room tv was on. The master bathroom toilet has a crack in the bowl on the top of the right side.5/4/21: Humidity is still high and the AC system is not cooling I can’t stress how important it is to get this fixed I’m finding evidence of mold the longer it goes on the more problems you’re going to have with cleanup.

5/4/21: The humidity level was below 60% inside the residence when I arrived. I raised the ac thermostat to 75 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.
5/4/21: The humidity level was back under 60% inside the residence after making the last adjustment. 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.
5/4/21: I found a Watermain on upon arrival shut off upon departure. It looks like a shelf collapsed in the freezer, photo below. There was some sort of pest dropping in the master bath tub, photo below. Could not determine that it was a gecko but I did not see anything damaged or chewed so I’m assuming it was. I clean these up we’ll see what it’s like next time
5/4/21: The screw that was laying on the master bedroom floor last service call came from the inside of the plantation shutter on the lanai door. I put the screw back into the middle hole and tried screwing it back in but it still appears to be loose in the hole and may fall out again see photos below. The humidity level was back under 60% inside the residence after making the last adjustment. Will continue to monitor closely & adjust accordingly.

Texted the client he agreed leaving the timer on the hose to the pool was a good idea at two hours. Some weeds growing between the pavers in the pool area. Light in utility area was on I turned off. I found the heat lamp over the shower in the master bath on I turned it off.The water valve on top of the water heater was off I consulted client and decided we should turn on in order to circulate the water and the water heater during the summer.. We discussed the water main valve and the client would like it to remain on for the pool company. I removed all of the alkaline batteries from the remote as sometimes they tend to corrode during the summer. I walked back through the house a third time to make sure all of the water faucets and toilets were not running as we’re leaving the water on to the home.
5/3/21: Walked the house twice to ensure the water faucets were off to all showers, tubs, and sinks as well to ensure neither toilet tank was running.
5/3/21: Garage dehumidifier read 48. Both toilets water valves are off at the tank. Wine cooler read 55. Brought in several sales flyers from mailbox. Can I be sure but I think the front door was unlocked. I didn’t feel the resistance when I went to unlock it but I didn’t try opening at first either. The flyers and mail on the counter from previous inspections we’re gone. The door to the garage from the home was unlocked. Both toilet seats and lids were down which I leave them up to promote airflow and reduce or eliminate mold. Per a text conversation from client I am leaving the hose on and filling the pool hall and will return later to shut it off. I ran the water into the pool all the time I was here and it only brought it up less than a quarter of an inch so I’ll try to return in a couple of hours to see the level and shut the water off.
