Weekly Unscheduled Inspections
Our weekly property inspections are conducted on a random basis. Visits are made on different days at different times to discourage unwanted visitors.
Doors & Windows Locked
Your doors and windows are checked frequently, and especially after the home has been occupied. We verify that all locks are in place and the home is secure.
Vandalism & Forced Entry
Your residence is monitored weekly for any signs of vandalism or unauthorized use in your absence. We also post a sign to discourage trespassers.
Pest Invasions
Pests can be a real problem in a vacant home. We check weekly for any visible sign of critters such as pack rats, squirrels, or woodpeckers that can cause major damage.
Heating System
We verify the setting on the thermostat according to your specifications, and we confirm that the home’s temperature matches. In the event of a substantial difference you will be contacted. In addition, we check propane levels monthly during the winter.
Tripped Breaker Switches
Your electrical panel is inspected to ensure that the breakers are in the on position. Any appliance breakers, such as the ones for water heaters, are checked to be on or off as you request.
Plumbing Inspections
Your plumbing fixtures are inspected to locate any dripping faucets, running toilets, or leaks. Garbage disposal operation is also checked to insure your home is ready for use.
Frozen & Broken Pipes
Prevent leaks and nasty surprises. Your plumbing system is monitored for proper flow and checked for visible leaks. We turn valves on or off, following your directions.
Moisture Problems
Moisture problems are the number one cause of damage in a home. We check your floors, walls, and ceilings for moisture from groundwater or ice dams on the roof, eaves, and valleys.
Refrigerator Checks
Your refrigerator is checked when you’re absent to ensure proper operation that protects the contents. We also make sure the fridge is working properly for your arrival.
Phone Service
The phone is checked for a dial tone regularly, and alarm systems, if installed, are also tested. We make sure your home is ready to be occupied and enjoyed.
