Why Do I Need Home Watch Services?

Some insurance companies may require regular house checks while your home is unoccupied. Please check to see what your insurance covers.

Did You Know? According to the National Home Watch Association, "Some Canadian homeowners insurance requires Home Watch Visits as often as every forty-eight hours when the home is unoccupied."

 Water damage is a frequent issue for homeowners, but it’s even more concerning when you’re away. Imagine a burst pipe, a malfunctioning sump pump, or frozen pipes causing damage while you’re not there to notice. These situations can quickly escalate into serious problems if left unchecked.

With our Buffalo home watch services, we visually inspect plumbing, pipes, and more looking for obvious issues during each home watch visit.  Whether it’s a minor issue or something more significant, our team will notify you immediately, helping to safeguard your home from costly repairs.

An unoccupied home is an inviting target for criminals. Do you ever notice how a neighbor’s driveway stays clear of tire tracks, or how their mailbox piles up with newspapers or mail? These are clear signs that someone is away—and unfortunately, burglars take note.

With our home watch services in Buffalo, we remove these telltale signs of an unoccupied house. We check for visible, obvious security concerns, and make sure your home appears occupied, reducing the risk of break-ins, vandalism, and squatters. Trust us to help keep your home safe and secure.

 Western New York winters bring heavy snowfall and the risk of ice damming—one of the leading causes of water damage in homes. Ice dams form when snow melts and refreezes, causing water to back up under shingles and seep into your home. This can result in mold, rot, and expensive repairs.

During every home watch visit, we check your roof and exterior for obvious, visual signs of ice damming, especially after storms. If any damage is found, we will alert you immediately, so you can take action before it becomes a major issue. We’re here to help make sure your home stays protected during the harsh winter months.

 New York is no stranger to extreme weather, from snowstorms to high winds and heavy rain. These storms can cause a wide range of problems, including downed trees, flooded basements, and power outages. Sump pump failures and damaged roofs can leave your home vulnerable to extensive damage.

Our emergency home watch services involve carefully checking your property for obvious, visual  storm-related damages. Give us a call to help ensure that any issues, such as fallen trees or flooded areas, are promptly reported to you, so you can take swift action to protect your home.

 Technology in your home is helpful—until it fails. While home security cameras can alert you to certain issues, they often miss things like a malfunctioning furnace or a water leak. And what happens if the power goes out, or if your Wi-Fi drops?

With our Buffalo home watch services, we’re here to provide peace of mind. Our team checks for obvious visual issues like HVAC systems not working, leaking pipes, and obvious equipment failures. We offer visits during power outages and other emergencies to help ensure that your home remains safe and secure, no matter what happens.
