What Is a Home Watch Service?
A home watch service is a professional visual inspection service for vacant or unattended properties. When homeowners are away, small issues can quickly turn into expensive repairs if left unnoticed. Plumbing leaks, storm damage, HVAC failures, security concerns, or moisture problems can escalate rapidly without regular oversight.
Sontag Home Services performs scheduled inspections to monitor your property for visible concerns and help ensure your home remains protected while you are away.
Our home watch services are ideal for:
- Seasonal homeowners
- Vacation property owners
- Frequent travelers
- Second-home owners
- Snowbirds
- Property owners managing homes remotely
By having a trusted local property professional routinely inspect your home, you can reduce the risk of unexpected damage and costly repairs.
Home Watch Services
Routine property inspections are one of the most important aspects of protecting an unattended home. During our scheduled house checks, we perform visual inspections of the property to identify potential maintenance or security concerns.
Water leaks or plumbing issues
We thoroughly check under sinks, around toilets, and near major appliances like water heaters and washing machines.
Storm or weather-related damage
Following severe weather, high winds, or heavy snowfall, we inspect the exterior and interior of the home.
HVAC system concerns
We verify that your heating and cooling systems are operating correctly for the season.
Signs of moisture or humidity problems
We actively look for condensation on windows, damp odors, or early visual signs of mold and mildew, which can spread rapidly if left unaddressed.
Exterior property damage
This includes checking for damaged siding, misaligned gutters, potential pest intrusion points, or landscaping issues that could impact the house.
Window or door issues
We ensure that all entry points are tightly closed and securely locked. We also check for broken glass, damaged screens, compromised weatherstripping, or any signs of tampering.
Security concerns
This involves clearing away accumulated mail, packages, or flyers at the front door, verifying that alarm systems are armed, and ensuring exterior security lights are functioning properly.
Visible electrical problems
We check for obvious electrical faults, such as tripped breakers, blinking appliance clocks indicating a recent power surge, or visible damage to outlets.
General maintenance issues
We keep an eye out for everyday wear and tear or minor anomalies. From burnt-out exterior lightbulbs to minor cosmetic concerns, we document the little things so you return to a home that is exactly as you left it.
Alarm Response Services
If your security system is triggered while you are away, having a trusted local contact available to respond quickly is essential. Sontag Home Services provides alarm response services designed to help homeowners protect their property and respond efficiently to unexpected situations.
