Home Watch Services
We keep watch so you don't have to.
Regular, professional inspections of your unoccupied coastal home — with detailed photo reports delivered after every visit.
The Basics
What is home watch?
Home watch is the regular, scheduled inspection of a vacant or unoccupied property by a trained professional. It is not a security guard service, and it is not a property management contract — it is a dedicated eyes-and-ears service designed to catch problems early, before they become costly emergencies.
Coastal New England homes face unique risks when left unoccupied: harsh nor'easters, frozen pipes, moisture intrusion, pest activity, and the slow damage that only becomes visible after weeks of neglect. Our certified home watch professionals visit your property on a schedule you choose, document everything they find, and alert you immediately if anything requires attention.
The Risks
Why it matters for coastal homes
Nor'easters & severe weather
A single storm can cause roof damage, flooding, or fallen trees. We check your property after every significant weather event and send you photos within 24 hours.
Frozen & burst pipes
The leading cause of catastrophic home damage in New England winters. We verify heating systems are functioning and catch early warning signs before pipes fail.
Moisture & mold
Coastal humidity and seasonal temperature swings create ideal conditions for mold. We check crawl spaces, basements, and attics that owners often overlook.
Pest intrusion
Vacant homes are inviting to rodents and insects. Early detection prevents infestations from taking hold during the off-season.
Security & vandalism
We check all entry points, windows, and outbuildings for signs of unauthorized access or vandalism, and coordinate with local authorities when needed.
Mechanical systems
HVAC, sump pumps, dehumidifiers, and water heaters are checked on every visit. A failed sump pump in a coastal basement can mean thousands in damage.
