The main reason so many people hire a home watch service company to look over their home is for risk mitigation. There are always risks with home ownership, but when gone for an extended time from your home hiring a professional to walk through and around can reduce the impact of any setback that might occur.
Having someone check your home regularly for common issues that arise when you are away for an extended period, such as water leaks, mold, drastic temperatures, frozen pipes, rodents, broken windows, pool or hot tub issues, power outages, etc., allows you to react to the situation quickly. This can mitigate risks and costs because damage won’t compound for weeks or months during your absence.
Also, if the unexpected does occur, home watch professionals can work with clients to provide quick solutions by getting quotes, hiring contractors, and coordinating visits based on the need and urgency of the situation.
In addition to risk mitigation, there are other benefits to having a home watch professional walk through and around your home regularly some of which are:
Ensuring that toilets are flushed, and water is run in the sinks, tubs, and showers to prevent minerals settling in pipes creating water discoloration and toilet rings.
Checking that irrigation and yard maintenance, snow removal, house cleaning, pool and spa maintenance, and any other home services are being completed as scheduled.
Picking up and removing any flyers, mail, or packages that are delivered and placing them safely inside as well as forwarding any important deliveries.
Starting and moving vehicles that are not on trickle chargers.
Sweeping the front porch, so your home doesn’t appear vacant.
Verifying doors and windows are locked and secured.
