Many insurance policies require proof that your home was checked during periods of vacancy. Without documentation, claims for water damage, frozen pipes, or vandalism may be denied.
Home Watch Professional House Checks provides:
✔ GPS-stamped reports
✔ Date- and time-verified inspections
✔ Photos documenting conditions at each visit
✔ Transparent reporting stored safely in your email
This documentation can be critical in validating a claim.

Crime, Vandalism & Squatters
Unoccupied homes attract attention. Untouched snow, piled-up mail, and dark windows signal no one is home.
During every visit, we:
- Remove signs of vacancy
- Check for forced entry
- Verify all doors and windows
- Inspect the exterior for tampering
- Report suspicious conditions immediately
Snow and Ice Damming

Crime, Vandalism & Squatters
During winter, Rochester and Western New York can experience heavy snowfall that can harm a house's structure. Ice damming, in particular, can cause water damage, rot, and mold to the interior of your home in a short period. We check the roof, exterior, and interior during our home watch visits. We will even come out after a storm and advise you immediately if we observe any damage.

Technology is useful, but it has limits:

- Smart sensors fail without Wi-Fi or power
- Thermostats may not alert you until it’s too late
A physical, visible inspection is the ONLY reliable way to know your home is safe.
