Our Services

Vacant Home Watch

Professional Oversight for Properties Between Chapters.

A vacant home needs more attention than most people realize. Without regular professional monitoring, insurers may deny claims, pests find entry points, and small maintenance issues go unnoticed until they become major repairs. We conduct a thorough inspection on every visit, document everything, and notify you immediately if anything requires your attention.

    Vacant Home Watch Checklist

    Eyes On the House. Every Visit.
    This is the full inspection checklist performed on every single visit. Because the home is vacant, we focus heavily on security, maintaining an occupied appearance, and preventing stagnant air and water issues.

    Exterior & Security

    ☐
    Check all exterior doors, windows, and sliders to confirm they are locked and secure. Monitor for any signs of forced entry or squatters.
    ☐
    Clear junk mail, flyers, phonebooks, and debris from the porch and driveway so the home does not look abandoned.
    ☐
    Visual inspection of the exterior (roofline, stucco, block walls) for any obvious weather damage or vandalism.
    ☐
    Check ceilings and skylights inside for signs of roof or monsoon leaks.

    Climate & Systems

    ☐
    Verify the HVAC system is functioning and holding the target temperature to prevent extreme heat buildup and protect interior finishes.
    ☐
    Check the electrical panel for tripped breakers (crucial for keeping refrigerators or AC units running).
    ☐
    Test smoke and CO detectors for low battery chirps.

    Plumbing

    ☐
    Run water in all sinks, showers, and tubs briefly to keep P-traps full and block dangerous sewer gases from entering the empty home.
    ☐
    Flush all toilets to clear stagnant water and prevent hard water rings from permanently etching the bowls.
    ☐
    Visual inspection under sinks, around toilets, and at the water heater for any slow leaks that could otherwise go unnoticed for weeks.

    Pool & Landscape (If Applicable)

    ☐
    Visual check of pool water levels to ensure the auto-fill is not overflowing or failing.
    ☐
    Listen to pool pumps and equipment to confirm they are running properly and check for leaks.
    ☐
    Visual check of landscaping for any obvious irrigation leaks, dying plants, or excessive weed overgrowth (another signal of vacancy).

    Interior & Pest Check

    ☐
    Visual scan for pests, rodents, and scorpions, which often seek shelter in quiet, undisturbed homes.
    ☐
    General walkthrough of all rooms checking for anything unusual, such as musty odors, moisture, mold, or cracked windows.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common Questions. Straight Answers.

    Everything you need to know about protecting a vacant property in the West Valley.

    Does my homeowner's insurance require regular inspections on a vacant property?
    Most standard homeowner's insurance policies have vacancy clauses that limit or void coverage after a property sits empty for 30 to 60 days. Many insurers require documented proof of regular professional monitoring to maintain coverage. Our photo documented inspection reports serve as that proof and can be provided to your insurer upon request.
    What is the difference between Lite Watch and Heavy Watch?
    Lite Watch is one visit per month and covers the essentials, security checks, system verification, pest scan, and documentation. Heavy Watch is two visits per month and is a better fit for properties with pools, active irrigation, or any situation where you want issues caught sooner rather than later.
    How do you handle security concerns on a vacant property?
    Every visit includes a full exterior perimeter check, verification that all doors, windows, and sliders are locked and secure, and a walkthrough of every room inside. We also collect any mail, flyers, or notices left at the door so the property does not signal vacancy to potential intruders.
    Can you help coordinate with real estate agents or other vendors who need access?
    Yes. Our Keyholder add on allows us to meet, let in, and supervise any vendor, contractor, real estate agent, or inspector at your property. This service is billed hourly with a two hour minimum since vendor visit lengths are unpredictable.
    How quickly can you get started on a vacant property?
    Usually within a few days. Reach out online or by phone and we will schedule an initial walkthrough to document the baseline condition of the property and set up your monitoring plan.
