Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a home watch service?

A home watch service is a professional service that regularly inspects vacant or unoccupied homes, looking for obvious issues. These services are often utilized by homeowners who are away for an extended period due to travel, seasonal residence, or other reasons. The purpose of a home watch service is to monitor the property for various issues, such as security breaches, maintenance problems, weather damage, or signs of pests. Home Watch Service requires a trained and knowledgeable individual to visit the property on a scheduled basis to perform a thorough inspection. During these inspections, they will check for signs of water leaks, mold, pests, vandalism, or any other issues that could arise in the homeowner's absence. They will also inspect essential HVAC, plumbing, and security systems functions.

Home watch services can provide peace of mind to homeowners who cannot regularly check on their properties. Detecting and addressing potential problems early on, these services help prevent minor issues from becoming major headaches and costly repairs.
