Home watch typically refers to a service provided to homeowners, especially when they are away from their property for an extended period. Some clients are snowbirds, vacationers, cottage owners, and owners of unoccupied or vacant homes like real estate listings.
The National Home Watch Association defines a home watch as " a visual inspection of a home or property looking for obvious issues."
Unoccupied homes are vulnerable and at higher risk of break-ins, vandalism, water damage, mold, rodents, and more.
If you have to file a claim, your insurance company may require proof that the home was checked. At Home Watch Professional House Checks, we provide state-of-the-art reports with GPS Tracking each time we perform a home watch. This could be the difference between a claim being denied or accepted.
According to the National Home Watch Association, "Some Canadian homeowners insurance requires Home Watch Visits as often as every forty-eight hours when the home is unoccupied."
Have you ever faced leaks or water damage at home? It's a frequent issue for many homeowners. Now, consider the risks when you're away: how confident are you that your home is safeguarded against potential threats like sump pump failures, ice dam leaks, power outages, furnace malfunctions, or frozen pipes?
Have you ever noticed how your neighbor's driveway stays clear of tire tracks on snowy days, or how their mailbox piles up with newspapers and mail? It's a clear sign they’re away or on vacation. But have you thought about how criminals or squatters might notice these same signs at your home when you're gone? Give us a call. During every home watch visit, we make sure to remove any signs of an unoccupied property, keeping your home safe and secure.

Feeling concerned about leaving your home unattended for extended periods is natural. Various risks include weather damage, water leaks, mold, vandalism, break-ins or squatters, equipment failures, and pest infestations. While some solutions, like asking friends and relatives or using technology, may seem helpful, it's essential to consider if they can detect potential problems and prioritize the safety of your home.
