What we check

What a home watch visit actually covers

Every visit follows the same full inspection, the same nine categories, room by room and outside. Here is exactly what we look at, and how we handle anything that needs attention.

Home Watch is defined as a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues.
Every visit, the same standard

The nine categories we check

The same full checklist every time, whether you are on weekly, bi-weekly or as-needed.

Water and leaks

Faucets, sinks, toilets, ceilings, under cabinets and the water heater, for any sign of a leak.

AC and humidity

Temperature, thermostat and humidity, to catch mold risk in the Florida heat early.

Pool and lanai

Water level, pump running, and the screen cage and lanai.

Pests and exterior

Signs of pests, plus the roof, gutters and walls checked from the ground.

Doors, windows and security

Locked up, lights, alarm, and any sign of entry or disturbance.

Lawn and irrigation

Sprinklers running, overgrowth, and obvious yard issues.

Mail and entry

Mail collected and the entry tidy, so the home never looks empty.

Plumbing and drains

Run taps and toilets to keep drains and traps healthy.

Electrical basics

Breakers, visible wiring and appliances left running.

How we look

Careful, visual, non-invasive

A home watch visit is a visual inspection. We look for the obvious issues you would want to know about, we do not open walls or dismantle systems, and we document what we see with photos.

If something needs a licensed professional, we tell you and coordinate it on your approval.

Good to know

What we check, answered

The same nine categories every visit: water and leaks, AC and humidity, pool and lanai, pests and exterior, doors and security, lawn and irrigation, mail and entry, plumbing and drains, and electrical basics.

No. Home watch is a visual inspection looking for obvious issues. We do not open walls or dismantle systems.

We document it, contact you with photos and options, and only proceed once you approve. Outside costs are passed through at cost with receipts.

We handle small things and coordinate licensed contractors for anything specialist. We do not do licensed trade work ourselves.

No. Home watch is a recurring visual check while you are away. It is not a licensed home or insurance inspection, and our reports are visual property records.
