WHAT WE LOOK FOR DURING HOME WATCH VISITS

Inspect the exterior of the home.

• Check all doors and windows; ensure they have not been tampered with and remain locked. 

• Look for any weather damage from wind, water, or fallen debris. Examine lanai and screened in enclosures for any damages. 

• Inspect for any signs of pest or insect infestations. 

• Check if lawn and landscaping work is being maintained and completed by landscaper (if applicable). 

• Inspect of any signs of mold starting on the outside of home. 

• Ensure no damage to air conditioning equipment and running properly. 

• Check for any leaks of outside plumbing, either from pool equipment, hose faucet, or irrigation. 

Inspect the interior of the home. 

• All doors and windows are locked from the inside. 

• Check for any signs of pests or insect infestation inside the home. 

• Any rain or water damage to the ceilings, walls, and floors. 

• Any signs of mold and mildew. 

• Check plumbing for leaks, in kitchen, washrooms, and anywhere else it applies for each home. 

• Run all faucets for a couple minutes, flush toilets, and run garbage disposals so there is no still water in the pipes and nothing is seized from no use while homeowner is away. 

• Ensure air conditioning, thermostat, and humidistat are all in working order and accurate. 

• Record temperature and humidity readings. 

• Check appliances and ensure all are working properly and no leakage (refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, washer, dryer). 

• Check breaker panel for any tripped switches and turn any back on that should be on. 

• Get mail from homeowners mailbox and leave inside the home, in specific location as requested by homeowner. 

• If requested, vehicles can examined; for any leaks or flat tires and can be started and moved, so flat spots do not develop on the tires.
