Home preparation · Visit records · Local guidanceBefore you leave
Set up the property and choose your support.
Leaving for the season
Agree on the settings, people and property checks that will stay in place while you are away.
Choose a Home Watch provider
Ask to see the checklist, a sample report and a written service agreement. A clear answer to each is more useful than a broad promise to “keep an eye on things.”
While you are away
Know what to record and when to act.
Humidity in an unoccupied home
Record humidity as well as temperature. Agree on the reading that should trigger a call to you or your HVAC provider.
Plan for a water leak
A leak alert is useful only when someone knows what to do next. Decide who gets the alert, who can enter and who can authorize repairs.
Storms & insurance
Agree on preparations and keep useful records.
Your hurricane plan
Agree on the work before a storm is approaching. Keep official alerts, preparation arrangements and post-storm access instructions in one plan.
Home Watch & insurance
Home Watch provides a record of observed conditions. Your policy and insurer determine coverage, visit requirements and any claim decision.
