Of course client privacy is our #1 priority so nothing found below will/can identify the home or owner just the primary concerns we found and the date.

9/5/18: The humidity within your condo is very high by my standards. I suggest keeping it as close to or below 60%, ideally I like to keep it closer to 55%. Currently the humidity is 67%. Set thermostat to 77 at the direction of the owner. Mud dauber nest inside front door jamb, see photos.9/5/18: The weeds are growing rapidly around your home. I stopped using Ranson Brothers for weed control opting to suggest clients deal directly otherwise I would have to charge a handling fee increasing your cost. You may want to check with your lawn company to see if they provide this service as well. The ceiling spot mentioned in the last report appears to be more prominent, photo below. The water main valve continues to drip even after I shut it off, however this happened last time as well and when I came today it was not dripping before I turned it on. It appears he is healed itself overtime.
9/5/18: The pool level is at mid skimmer court which is perfect. I found no pool service slip on the lanai this service call. The plant growing on the trellis next to your pool heater unit is growing into the top grate of the heater, see photo below. The weeds are growing rapidly around your home. I stopped using Ranson Brothers for weed control opting to suggest clients deal directly otherwise I would have to charge a handling fee increasing your cost. You may want to check with your lawn company to see if they provide this service as well.
9/5/18: The grass is extremely long, should be cut, see photos below. Brought a palm frond to the front for pick up. The gate was wide open, indicating lack of attention to home and possibly home is vacant. Found many dead ants under the dining room window, see photo below. I swabbed both toilets.
9/4/18: Weeds on the lanai are dead. While in the guest bathroom I heard running water but I hadn’t turned anything on within that bathroom. Upon further investigation around the house inside and outside I found the left side spigot open, see photo below. The garbage disposal had to be freed in order to be ran.
9/4/18: Weeds growing in the cracks of the lanai, photo below. Sprayed very large wasp nest on ride side of home inside window recess, photo below.
9/4/18: Weeds overtaking the landscaping. The lanai concrete and cage screens need power washed. The leak around the slider in the master bedroom seems to be worse and/or needs attention, inside and outside photos below.
9/4/18: Right side back yard gate open upon arrival (both sides).
9/4/18: Several dead ants in the guest bathroom and tub, I cleaned these up. I saw no live ants.
9/4/18: The deadbolt was not locked again could this be the real estate agent? I opened the home for client: left water main on, turned all circuit breakers on, turned dehumidistat to ON, set thermostat at 75 and set all appliance clocks.
9/4/18: Found ceiling spots over the kitchen bar near hanging lights. Below is a photo of the ceiling and another of the roof from the front of the condo. I believe the problem is at or near that peak on either side.
9/4/18: SUV has mildew on the front seats, photo below. I found the water main on upon arrival. I am confident this was not left on by me last service call. We have the practice of placing our keys on the water valve there’s absolutely no way we can drive away without shutting the water off.
9/4/18: More pest droppings inside shuttered lanai area, just about reaching the level from the end of last season. Side walk becoming impassable needs to be trimmed back, see photos below.
9/4/18: A pool cage door that was supposed to be locked was unlocked, photo of it below. Watered the large plant on the lanai (1 1/2 quarts) and 2 cups of water in the small plant. Pool level middle of skimmer port. Pool clear and clean. No pods on any trees/plants. Found several dead ants in the hall just in from the garage, along the 3 section glass dining area window and in the tub of the master bath none were alive, see photo below. I cleaned all these up.
9/4/18: Photos below of brown spots that appear to be a bit worse. The photo below of the green cylinder out front shows water leaking from under it at a pretty fair rate, should be looked at very soon.
9/4/18: Spots on ceiling along main garage opening do not appear to be worse, photo below. Weeds growing in the cracks of lanai pavers along edges near pool cage, photo below.
9/4/18: Guest bathroom ceiling spots appear to be worsening, see photos below. Pool debris more than likely from the gusty winds yesterday. Brought several palm fronds to the front for pick up.
9/4/18: I have not seen or collected pool service slips for some time now.
9/3/18: Breaker #27 (front foyer) was tripped, I reset it.
9/3/18: Weeds growing out of cracks of lanai area, as described in past reports.
9/3/18: Mold on the ceiling of lanai has not worsened. The spot in the garage I have been watching appears much worse over the last two weeks. Another spot has developed near it see photos below. We have had a lot of rain.
9/3/18: Some mail that may need forwarding see photos below.
9/3/18: I did not water the plants outback as we are to get heavy rain the next several days. No water dripped from the top of the door today I am suspect it may be condensation rather than actual rain getting in.
9/3/18: There are several brown spots in the yard I can’t see why that would be unless maybe caused by insects, photo below. The stairs in the garage are not completely seating in the frame. One toilet is completely saran wrapped, did not flush. Weeds growing in the cracks of the lanai. I moved the thermostat down from 80° to 78°. I left the dehumidistat at 50% I believe that your AC system is short cycling meaning that it reaches the setting of 80° and shuts off before it removes the humidity to a level at or below the 50% setting.
9/3/18: Watered 3 trees per written instructions on kitchen counter. Left side sink stopper in the master bathroom will not open/lift. Half a dozen bug droppings in guest tub, as found last service date, I cleaned these up.
