What a home watch visit checks
Every visit follows the same disciplined walkthrough, and every visit ends with a photo report sent to you. Here is what gets looked at, room by room and system by system.
Exterior
- Roof, gutters, and visible storm damage
- Pool cage, lanai, and screen condition
- Doors and windows secure, no signs of entry
- Lawn, landscaping, and irrigation issues
- Mail, packages, and flyers cleared
Interior
- Signs of leaks under sinks and around toilets
- Ceilings and walls for water stains
- Pest activity and musty or mold odors
- All doors and windows locked and intact
- Smoke and CO detectors checked
Systems
- Air conditioning running, temperature and humidity in range
- Water heater and main water valve status
- Electrical panel and tripped breakers
- Refrigerator and appliances functioning
- Pool pump, filter, and water level
After storms
- Prompt post-storm visit when weather hits the Venice area
- Photos of any damage for your records and insurer
- Immediate call if anything needs urgent attention
Visits are typically scheduled weekly or every two weeks while you're away, and the checklist is adjusted to your home: golf-cart batteries, elevator, dock, or a classic car in the garage all get added to your home's own list.
