Protecting Your Home While You’re Away
Custom Home Watch Services by Reliance Home Watch
At Reliance Home Watch, we recognize that every home and homeowner has unique needs, which is why we offer fully customized home watch services to provide the highest level of protection and care for your property. Whether you’re away for weeks or months, our expert team ensures your home remains safe, well-maintained, and ready for your return. Below are some of the key tasks we perform during a home watch visit:
Exterior Checks: Ensuring a Secure and Well-Maintained Property
The exterior of your home is the first line of defense against potential issues, and our thorough site visits help identify and prevent problems before they escalate. We carefully inspect:
✔ Doors, windows, and entry points – Ensuring all access points are securely locked, with no signs of forced entry or tampering.
✔ Roof and gutters – Checking for visible damage, debris buildup, or leaks that could lead to costly repairs.
✔ Landscaping and yard condition – Monitoring for overgrowth, fallen branches, or landscaping issues that may signal an unoccupied home.
✔ Storm damage – Assessing for any signs of damage caused by high winds, heavy rain, or extreme weather conditions.
✔ Pest activity – Looking for signs of infestations such as nests, droppings, or burrowing that could cause long-term property damage.
Interior Checks: Identifying Potential Hazards Inside the Home
A home left unoccupied can develop issues that go unnoticed until they become costly disasters. During each visit, we conduct a comprehensive interior inspection, which includes:
✔ Water leak detection – Inspecting under sinks, around appliances, and near plumbing fixtures to catch leaks before they cause major damage.
✔ Microbial growth prevention – Checking for excessive moisture or mold growth, which can develop rapidly in humid conditions.
✔ Pest inspections – Looking for signs of rodents, insects, or other intruders that could damage your home or belongings.
✔ Weather-related concerns – Ensuring there are no signs of interior damage caused by storms, humidity, or extreme temperature changes.
System Checks: Keeping Your Home’s Vital Systems Running Smoothly
A properly maintained home requires fully operational systems. We inspect and test the following to ensure everything is functioning correctly:
✔ HVAC system – Verifying the air conditioning and heating systems are running efficiently to maintain proper indoor climate control and prevent humidity buildup.
✔ Plumbing – Running faucets, flushing toilets, and checking for leaks or issues that could lead to water damage.
✔ Electrical system – Ensuring power is functioning properly, checking breakers, and confirming there are no hazards or outages.
✔ Appliance functionality – Checking refrigerators, freezers, and other appliances to prevent breakdowns or spoiled food due to power issues.
✔ Security systems – Testing alarms, cameras, and smart home devices to ensure your home remains protected.
Mail and Package Collection: Preventing a Vacant Home from Being a Target
A buildup of mail, newspapers, and packages is one of the biggest indicators of an unoccupied home, making it an easy target for break-ins. To prevent this, we:
✔ Collect mail and packages and store them safely inside the home.
✔ Remove newspapers and flyers from driveways and front doors.
✔ Arrange forwarding or storage solutions based on your preferences.
Detailed Reporting: Transparent and Real-Time Updates on Your Property
With HomeWatchIT, our state-of-the-art reporting system, homeowners receive detailed reports after each visit, ensuring complete transparency. Each report includes:
✔ Comprehensive notes outlining what was inspected and any issues detected.
✔ Time-stamped photos documenting the condition of the home.
✔ Immediate alerts if a problem arises, along with recommended actions and solutions.
✔ Regular communication to provide homeowners with peace of mind while they are away.
