A professional home watch service conducts regular physical inspections of your unoccupied property. We check for security issues, water leaks, HVAC problems, pests or mice, vandalism or break-ins, storm damage or other concerns. We provide detailed reports with photos after every visit, and coordinate emergency repairs as needed.

We recommend weekly inspections during the winter months (November-April) when frozen pipe risks are highest. Then bi-weekly visits during all other times of the year. Frequency can be adjusted based on your property’s specific needs and your requirements (such as for insurance purposes).

Many home insurance properties require regular inspections for homes vacant more than 30-60 days in the year. Some insurers offer premium discounts for professional home watch services. We provide documentation for your insurance company, confirming inspection schedules and property conditions.

Service pricing depends on property size, location, age of the home, inspection frequency and any concierge services requested. Contact us at 203-313-7525 and arrange a visit for a customized proposal. Most of our clients find that professional home watch services cost a lot less than a single insurance deductible arising from preventable property damage.

During each winter inspection, we verify your HVAC system is maintaining its proper temperature (minimum of 55 degrees Fahrenheit), check or drafts or insulation issues, run all faucets to prevent water seal evaporation and inspect for any early signs of freezing. We also ensure your heating system is operating efficiently.

We serve Northern Fairfield County and certain Litchfield county communities. These include: Newtown, Danbury, Bethel, Bridgewater, Brookfield, Candlewood Lake area, Ridgefield, Redding, Roxbury, Weston, Woodbury and surrounding areas.

The National Home Watch Association was established to develop professional standards, a code of ethics, and a vetting and accreditation process. This includes annual criminal background checks and business practice history. This is all to protect you, the owner. A casual friend or acquaintance is not accredited and cannot provide the reassurance nor the paperwork necessary for insurance should something go wrong. The accreditation process is extensive and includes a background check, a thorough grounding in every area of a home that must be checked for obvious issues, and ongoing professional development.

Depending on where the pipe is located and how long the water has been flowing, we have seen the most extensive damage in basements as well as multi-story disasters started in a top floor bathroom. Older homes in particular are very expensive to rectify and repair.

Potential thieves look for uncollected mail or newspapers lying around, as well as branches or other yard waste that hasn’t been tidied up. Any visible clues are a give away that the home is unoccupied. Having a weekly or biweekly visit offers a consistent presence that can help a home look well maintained and occupied, and deter potential thieves.
