When you hire a certified home watcher, you’re taking a proactive step to help protect your home. Our team conducts inspections both inside and outside your property looking for obvious visual issues helping to ensure that everything remains in top condition while you're away. With our services, you can rest easy, knowing that we check for:

• Leaks: We visually look at plumbing systems and appliances for obvious signs of water damage.

• Pest Infestations: We check for visual, obvious signs of insect or rodent activity that could cause long-term damage.

• Mold & Mildew: As we perform our home watch visit if we notice visual obvious signs of what appears to be a mold/mildew like substance we notify you.

• Security: Our regular house checks and presence could help deter squatters, burglars, and other intruders. If we notice any signs of obvious visual issues we notify you.

By regularly checking your property, we help provide both a physical presence and peace of mind.

 Our home watch service includes a check of both the interior and exterior of your home looking for signs of obvious visual issues. Here's what we cover during each visit: 

We start by checking the exterior of your property. This includes a walkaround visually looking for visible obvious issues to:

• Roof condition (missing shingles, damage)
• Siding, windows, and doors (looking for cracks or vandalism)
• Garage and entry points (checking for forced entry)
• Mail, newspapers, and flyers (signs that the property is vacant)

Inside your home, we use an approach that checks each room, focusing again on obvious visible signs:

• Walls, ceilings, floors (looking for water damage or mold)
• Windows and doors (checking for broken windows or locks)
• Water Zones (bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms) for leaks or plumbing issues

The basement is checked for obviously visible potential water issues, including:

• Visible signs of flooding 
• Sump pump operation and water levels
• Furnace and water heater working (if not winterized)
• Signs of rodent activity or vandalism

Walk-Up Attics are checked for visible obvious signs of:

• Water damage or mold
• Rodent infestations

We document temperature and humidity levels in your home during every visit. This could help prevent potential issues like:

• Burst pipes due to freezing temperatures
• Mold growth from high humidity

 Whether you're dealing with a sudden emergency or need a pre-storm inspection, our team is ready to assist. We provide emergency checks to help ensure your home is secure during adverse weather conditions or unexpected events. 

 Don't leave your property unprotected. Let us provide the reliable home watch services you need to maintain peace of mind while you're away. Contact us today to schedule an inspection or learn more about how we can assist with your home’s needs. 

Home Watch Services cater to individuals with multiple homes, cabins, cottages and those who travel frequently including vacations.
