Home Watch Services
When you are away from your home for an extended period, knowing that someone is regularly checking your property can provide valuable peace of mind. Wyze Home Services provides professional Home Watch Services designed to help protect your home, identify potential problems early, and ensure your property is being diligently looked after in your absence.
Whether you are a seasonal resident, vacation homeowner, frequent traveler, or simply spend extended periods away, an unattended home can be vulnerable to water leaks, plumbing problems, storm damage, pest activity, electrical issues, vandalism, and other unexpected problems. Regular home watch visits provide another set of eyes on your property so concerns can be identified and addressed before they potentially turn into costly repairs.
Reliable Home Watch While You Are Away
A vacant home can experience problems even when everything was working perfectly when you left. A small plumbing leak can cause significant water damage if it goes unnoticed for weeks. An air-conditioning or electrical problem can affect interior temperatures, refrigerators, freezers, and other important systems. Storms and high winds can also cause exterior damage that may not be obvious until someone visits the property.
Our Home Watch Services include periodic visits to your home with a thorough visual inspection of important interior and exterior areas. We look for unusual conditions, changes, or signs of potential problems and help keep your home cared for while you are away.
What Is Included in a Home Watch Visit?
Each home watch visit is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of your property’s condition. Services include, but are not limited to:
- Perimeter and interior inspection for visible damage to windows, doors, screens, porches, and other areas, as well as signs of vandalism.
- Run water through sinks, drains, and showers to help maintain plumbing systems during extended periods of vacancy.
- Run the garbage disposal to help keep it operational.
- Flush all toilets and visually check for plumbing concerns.
- Check for leaking pipes and signs of water damage, including moisture, staining, or other visible warning signs.
- Visually inspect for signs of mold or excess moisture.
- Check for unusual odors that could indicate plumbing, moisture, pest, or other problems.
- Visually check for pest activity inside and around the property.
- Monitor interior temperatures and look for conditions that may indicate a problem.
- Confirm refrigerators and freezers are powered on and operating.
- Perform a basic visual inspection of the pool and spa for noticeable concerns.
- Check interior and exterior lightbulbs and identify lights that may need replacement.
- Review general landscaping appearance for noticeable changes or problems.
- Perform post-storm inspections to identify visible damage following severe weather.
- Check the breaker box for tripped breakers.
- Remove newspapers, flyers, and debris that can accumulate and make a home appear vacant.
Helping Identify Small Problems Before They Become Big Ones
One of the greatest benefits of professional home watch services is early detection. Many expensive home repairs begin as relatively minor problems.
A slow leak underneath a sink, for example, may be easy to repair when discovered quickly. Left unnoticed for several weeks, however, that same leak could damage cabinets, flooring, drywall, and surrounding areas.
The same is true for pest activity, storm damage, electrical issues, plumbing concerns, or unexpected changes in the condition of a property. Periodic home visits can help uncover these situations sooner and allow homeowners to make informed decisions about repairs or maintenance.
Home Watch Services for Seasonal and Vacation Homes
Home Watch Services can be particularly valuable for seasonal residents who leave their homes vacant for weeks or months at a time. Maintaining a home from a distance can be stressful, especially when you do not have someone nearby who can regularly check the property.
Wyze Home Services serves as your local eyes and ears while you are away. Rather than wondering whether everything is okay at your home, you can have greater confidence knowing that periodic inspections are taking place.
Regular visits also create activity around the property. Removing accumulated flyers, newspapers, and debris and checking the exterior can help prevent a home from appearing obviously vacant.
More Than a Quick Walk-Through
A professional home watch visit is more than simply stopping by the property. Our inspections follow a consistent process designed to evaluate key areas of the home and identify visible conditions that may require attention.
If something does not look right, you will know about it. This allows you to respond promptly instead of discovering a problem weeks or months later when you return.
Protect Your Home While You Are Away
Your home is an important investment, and leaving it unattended should not mean leaving it unprotected. With professional Home Watch Services from Wyze Home Services, you can enjoy your time away knowing someone is keeping a watchful eye on your property.
Whether you leave the area seasonally, travel frequently, own a second home, or simply need someone dependable to check your property while you are gone, we can customize a home watch schedule to fit your needs.
