What is a Home Watch?
A home watch isn’t a house-sitting or live-in service. Rather, it’s a service that focuses on monitoring a homeowner’s property when they are absent for an extended period. The service includes routine inspections, repairs and maintenance, and security checks of your home.

Our Home Watch Services
We check for many things in an unoccupied home. Our tailor-made checklist assesses both the interior and exterior of your property. Among other things, the checklist includes items such as:
- Doing routine inspections either on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
- Accepting deliveries on your behalf.
- Safekeeping your keys, as well as allowing service providers to access your home.
- Carrying out checks before and after a storm.
During the routine inspections, the following are some of the areas that we’ll check.
Your Home’s Interior
Inspecting your home’s interior is important to ensure it’s protected. Regular inspections ensure that any issues are dealt with as quickly as possible before they become serious and potentially costly.
When inspecting your home’s interior, we like to pay attention to things like:
- Plumbing Systems. Issues to do with plumbing systems can be a hassle if preventative measures aren’t taken. We check the entire system for leaky drains and pipes, inspect vent pipes, test the water pressure, and more. We also examine the ceilings and floors for potential signs of water leakage.
- Safety Systems. We also inspect alarm systems, as well as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they are working as they should.
- Environmental Systems. We’ll inspect to see that heating and air conditioning units are working as they should.
- Electrical Systems. Electrical systems need to be properly maintained and tested to ensure they run as they should. Our services include examining every circuit box, wiring and outlet.
- Pests can cause destruction and costly repair bills to your property. That’s why we also check for pests during our routine inspections.
- Mold Issues. Mold remediation can be expensive. Our inspection checks for early signs of mold so that we can take care of it early on.
Your Home’s Exterior
Your home’s exterior is equally important. We’ll also examine it so as to deal with any problems that may arise in your absence. The following are some of the things we check for during our inspection tours.
- The roof’s condition.
- The security of main entry ways.
- Your yard, to ensure it’s well taken care of.
If we come across any issue, we’ll call you right away!
Why Can’t I Ask My Neighbor for Help When Away?
You can! However, it’s a risky proposition. You see, your neighbor doesn’t have the professional training a home watch company has. They won’t know where or what to look for during the home inspection.
As such, if an issue arises, they won’t be able to resolve it properly. Additionally, your neighbor won’t have the professional experience to carry out a thorough interior and exterior home inspection.
And over time, small issues can grow to become serious and potentially costly!
