Home watch for snowbirds, lake homes and travelers
An empty house in a Michigan winter can go wrong quietly: a furnace stops, a pipe freezes, a sump pump fails during the thaw. We check the house inside and out on a schedule and send you photos every time.
What a home watch visit covers
- Walk the inside: heat, water, leaks, signs of pests or entry
- Check the furnace is running and the thermostat is holding
- Look at sinks, toilets, water heater and sump pump
- Walk the outside: doors, windows, roof edges, storm damage, ice dams
- Bring in packages and flyers that say nobody is home
- Photo report sent to you after every visit
When something is wrong
We call you, then handle it: emergency clean-up, one of our Trusted Network Partners such as a plumber or HVAC specialist, and the follow-up until it is fixed. Key holding means we can let vendors and deliveries in without you flying home.
Lake homes and second homes
Across the Livingston County lakes and the Huron River Chain of Lakes, plenty of homes sit empty for months. Home watch pairs well with our seasonal open-up and close-down visits.
Check your insurance
Some homeowner policies ask for regular checks while a house is unoccupied. Our dated photo reports give you a record of every visit.
