About Home Watch
About Our Service
What is a home watch service?
A home watch service provides regular property monitoring and checks while you're away. We visit your Connecticut home on a scheduled basis to inspect for issues like water leaks, security problems, pest activity, and system malfunctions. Our comprehensive service catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies, giving you peace of mind while you travel or vacation.
Who needs home watch services?
Home watch services are ideal for anyone who is away from their Connecticut property for extended periods. This includes snowbirds who spend winters in warmer climates, frequent business travelers, vacation homeowners, people caring for elderly relatives' properties, and anyone who wants the peace of mind knowing their home is being monitored while they're away.
Why should I hire a professional instead of asking a neighbor?
While neighbors mean well, they may not know what to look for or may become unavailable. A professional home watcher has 30 years of experience knowing exactly what can go wrong with Connecticut homes. We conduct systematic checks, maintain consistent schedules, document everything with photos, and have the expertise to identify potential problems before they become major issues.
Services & Process
What We Check & How It Works
What does a home watch visit include?
Our comprehensive home watch service includes: exterior property walk-around, door and window security checks, roof and gutter visual inspection, outdoor plumbing check, pest and odor inspection, interior security verification, smoke alarm testing and battery replacement if needed, interior lighting check, and key appliance testing. We document everything and provide detailed reports after each visit.
How often should I have my property checked?
For vacant or seasonal properties, we recommend home watch visits at least once a month. More frequent checks (weekly or bi-weekly) may be beneficial during extreme weather conditions, winter months, or if you're away for extended periods. We can customize a monitoring schedule based on your specific needs and concerns.
What happens if you find a problem?
If we discover any issues during a home watch visit, we contact you immediately with photos and a detailed description. For urgent problems like water leaks, security breaches, or heating failures, we can coordinate emergency repairs with trusted local contractors. Our goal is to catch problems early before they become expensive, and to give you options for how to handle any issues we find.
