Professional Home Watch Service
The following is an example of the considerations we make during each Home Watch visit. Each property and homeowner's needs are different and we take pride in valuing the little things that matter the most to you. During each Home Watch visit, we conduct a check of the full exterior (home, dock, pool, detached garage / storage, etc.) and interior. As your Personal Home Manager and Certified Home Watch Reporter, we will check on the following (at a minimum):
​
-
Check for signs of vandalism, break-ins, storm damage.
-
Verify that all doors and windows are properly secure and that security systems are functioning properly to minimize chance of break-ins.
-
Check for issues with landscaping, drainage, irrigation, etc.
-
Check for evidence of water leaks or damage and check for visual signs of moisture, mold and mildew.
-
Check for signs of insects and or critters - super common at the lake!
-
​Check the A/C // Heating systems and test humidity, resetting thermostat settings if needed.
-
Run faucets, sinks, disposals, and flush toilets, checking for potential issues or leaks.
-
Test all appliances to include all dishwashers and washers / dryers.
-
Check that main water valve is turned off after each visit. If homeowner requests water to remain on, they must sign Riggs Request Deviation of Best Practices. Our recommendation is always that your water remains Off while away. The exception would be if you have an Automated Water Shut Off system.
-
Check all electrical panels for tripped breakers (includes dock and garages) and make sure electric water heater breaker is turned off.
-
Check all ceilings, walls, under and around furniture for any irregularities.
-
Verify all necessary home systems are working as they should to include Water Softener, Water Heater, WiFi, TVs, etc.
-
Home Watch Report with photos completed during each home watch visit.
-
IMMEDIATE reporting to Client of any abnormalities found.
