Why Regular Home Watch Inspections Are Essential for Your Unoccupied Home
If you own an unoccupied home, regular Home Watch inspections are crucial to keeping it safe. At a minimum, we conduct two inspections per month, but we highly recommend one inspection per week. Weekly inspections significantly increase the chances of catching issues early, minimizing the time they go unnoticed. While inspection frequency can be a personal preference, it is often required by your insurance provider or HOA.
Many South Florida insurance policies mandate the use of a Home Watch service when your home is unoccupied. Standard policies often don’t cover homes left vacant for 30–60 days or more. Be sure to check your insurance policyfor specific requirements, as some policies may not cover damage if water has been active in the home for longer than a set number of days. A Home Watch service acts like an insurance policy, ensuring your home stays protected and secure, significantly reducing risk and offering peace of mind.
Why Choose a Professional Home Watch Service?
While smart home technology like humidistats, thermostats, and cameras might seem like a convenient solution, they aren’t foolproof. Technology can fail—humidistats and thermostats can malfunction, Wi-Fi can lose connection, and critical issues can go unnoticed. A professional Home Watch service goes beyond what technology can offer. Trained professionals use their senses—sight, smell, sound, and touch—to identify and mitigate problems before they escalate.
Imagine these “what if” scenarios:
- What if your air conditioner malfunctions, and you’re not there to notice? Mold could spread within days.
- What if a small leak turns into water damage? Without regular checks, you could face costly repairs.
- What if a pest infestation begins? By the time you return, the damage could be severe.
Weekly visits from a Home Watch professional can prevent these scenarios from becoming costly disasters.

Weekly Service for Optimal Protection
While two visits a month may seem sufficient, we always recommend a weekly service.
