You’ve heard about home watch but, why in the world do you need it? A vacant home is a vulnerable home. Home Watch is a vital service for all seasonal residents. The market is currently served by “Neighbors Doing Favors”, well-meaning individuals, “Hobby Home Watchers” and some people who are just taking advantage of residents who are not here.

Emergency Services
Depending on the emergency found during a home visit or if reported to us, on your behalf; we will take the most reasonable and safest actions to protect your home. First, we will stop the problem if possible (ie: shutting off AC if a line freezes). Then we will evaluate the situation and identify a solution. Our goal is to be able to have a solution for you when we first call, to eliminate as much stress and time lapsed damage as possible.
Just so you understand some of the things we have seen that may constitute “some” level urgency, we provide here some food for thought…
1. A common occurrence given we are in Florida is that exterior AC hoses can freeze up. Your Home Watch Professional specifically looks for this. The correction is often something easy like charging the system, adjusting the controls, freon, etc. We are able to manage this for you using our trusted resources.
2. Another common issue is flooding. Whether a pipe happens to go bad, issues break a sprinkler head, or mother nature beats us up; your Home Watch Professional keeps an eye out for water damage and as always, with our trusted resources, we can offer you fast and economical solutions for these urgent times.
3. One Home Watch Professional found an infestation of bugs dead at many windows inside the house. This required additional clean-up and inquiry in the industry what are the bugs, where are they from, do we need to be concerned about them coming back? The customer then decides if they wish to treat for pests.
