What Is a Home Watch Service?
Home Watch is a professional service designed for homeowners who leave their property vacant for extended periods.
We perform scheduled inspections of your property, checking both the interior and exterior for any visible issues that could lead to damage or security risks.
Home Watch services are especially valuable for holiday homes, second homes and properties that remain unoccupied for long periods.
This includes checking for:
• Water leaks
• Storm damage
• Electrical issues
• Signs of intrusion
• Pest activity
• Humidity or mold
After each visit, we provide a detailed inspection report with photos, so you always know the condition of your property.
This gives homeowners complete peace of mind knowing that their property is regularly inspected and professionally monitored while they are away.
WHY HOME WATCH IS IMPORTANT
Leaving a property unattended for long periods can create serious risks.
Small problems can quickly turn into expensive repairs if they are not detected early. Water leaks, humidity, electrical faults or storm damage can go unnoticed for weeks or even months.
Regular inspections ensure that any issues are identified early and addressed before they become costly problems.
Common Problems in Unattended Properties
Properties left vacant for extended periods may develop problems such as:
• Water leaks and plumbing failures
• Humidity and mold buildup
• Storm or weather damage
• Electrical issues
• Pest infestations
• Insurance compliance issues
• Security risks or attempted intrusion
Without regular inspections, these issues can remain undetected and cause significant damage to the property.
