The smoke detector in the living room was chirping when I arrived. I replaced the battery with one new 9V battery provided from the laundry room cabinet and made sure to test it after replacing the battery. I raised the ac thermostat to 76 for now as the air handler in the garage is starting to condensate too excessively dripping a lot of water onto the garage floor below. This should slow down the condensation for now & evaporate off the floor. The office bathroom toilet is tagged for leaking between the tank & bowl when being flushed.

10/1/24: The water heater is a on-demand. There are several ceiling areas that are being worked on in one bedroom that is torn down to the ceiling studs. The garbage disposal switch is taped in one position so I did not test it. The smoke detector in the living room is chirping, indicating it will need a battery replaced. It is not an issue as long as no one is staying here in my opinion.
10/1/24: There is a small section of soffits pushed up on the front of the house by the front entryway photos below. The pool has a lot of debris on the bottom photo below. Water does not appear to have made it inside the garage or inside the house. Everything appeared to be ok with the boat. The lawn has some browning in the front & back yard. The metal in the stucco trim on the front & sides of the residence appear to be rusting excessively in several areas.

10/1/24: I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube then chased with water. When I first arrived, the AC was not running. As standard protocol on your unit, I turn down the humidistat below where it is set to, however in this case it was reading above 60 and was set at 50. The unit should have been running and it wasn’t humidity inside was 63.4%. I checked the drain side of the unit HVAC unit there was no water in it. Then I checked the float side of the HVAC system, and it did have water. When water accumulates in the float switch tube it is supposed to shut the system down because it’s normally an indication that the drain line is plugged. So I begin flushing the drain line side of the unit with over a gallon of water and it never backed up indicating it was not plugged. I removed the water that was sitting inside the float switch side with a paper towel then I put the float switch back inside the tube and waited, it began to run. It ran for only a minute or so then shut down. A few minutes later it began to run again and then ran for an entire cycle. The air coming out the supply line vents was under 65° so it was cooling as well. I checked the float switch tube after it cycled and it was empty. I can not explain why it wasn’t running however it seems to be operating as it should be now. The humidity had came down to just under 60% by the time I left.

Activated the alarm system when leaving.
10/1/24: There was a large pile of landscaping/storm debris in the driveway when I arrived photo below. There is a small section of soffits pushed up on the back of the house over the master bedroom window. Covering the drains is not necessary as running water every two weeks fills all the traps preventing sewer gases & pest from entering the residence as well as pushing everything back. Checked all damp rid bags throughout the residence. Damp rid bags are not recommended as they are prone to leaking causing irreversible damage. Checked light timer in the living room. A battery maintainer is recommended for the vehicle. Poured approximately 2ozs of vinegar down the hvac condensate drain line for preventative maintenance.

10/1/24: Rebooted the internet modem, ac thermostat & irrigation timer to reconnect to WiFi. The ac thermostat would not connect as the owner of the account with the app on their phone needs to be present with the thermostat. Will contact the client & advise them of the situation.

9/30/24: Drive by post storm check. Checked outside of residence only. The water from the canal appears to have only made it to the top step going down to the dock & did not reach the house photos below. The dock was still intact but there is some cracks in the seawall in front of the gate. Everything was ok with the house & pool except for the little lattice section by the pool pump was knocked over. Power was on as the ac condenser was running outside.
9/30/24: The tree out back was blown down by the storm, I’m assuming.
9/30/24: I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensation evac tube then chased with some water. I brought in several pieces of mail, only one piece appeared to be important, photo below. Raised and lowered the back hurricane screens. There were two weeds on the lanai that I pulled rather than spray.
9/30/24: Drive by to open up the residence for clients guest. Turned on the water main & ice maker. Put furniture back out on the lanai. Was unable to turn the water heater on as the flood water submerged the water heater up to the bottom heating elements & the panel was full of water making it not safe to turn on. A professional plumber will be needed to inspect the water heater before it is turned back on. Will contact the client & advise them of the situation. The ac company has not repaired the ac system yet so the ac system is still currently not working. Put the new registration sticker on the tag of the car & put the registration inside the car.
