A Home Watch service is defined as a scheduled, visual observation of a home or property while it is unoccupied. The purpose of this service is to identify obvious and visible issues that may require attention, such as water intrusion, pest activity, HVAC failure, or signs of unauthorized access.

Home Watch visits may include a non-invasive check of the property’s general condition and key systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), along with interior and exterior observations. These visits are intended to detect readily apparent concerns, not latent defects or code violations.

It is important to understand that a Home Watch inspection is not a substitute for a licensed home inspection, which involves a more detailed evaluation of systems and components in accordance with state standards of practice.

If a concern is observed during a Home Watch visit, the homeowner will be notified promptly and provided with documentation. The homeowner retains full discretion over how to proceed, including the selection of any necessary contractors or service providers.

Disclaimer: Home Watch services are observational in nature and do not involve diagnostic testing, system performance evaluations, or code compliance verification. For a full assessment of a home’s condition, please consult a licensed home inspector.
