Home Watch Services – Frequently Asked Questions

 The official definition of Home Watch is “A visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues.” A Home Watch service is designed to give you peace of mind while you are away from your home.   A home watch service is a professional, visual inspection of an unoccupied home to identify issues such as leaks, mold, storm damage, or unauthorized entry. Reports are delivered digitally with photos and time stamps after each visit and if a situation does arise, you will be notified so the problem can be dealt with in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
