Our Core – Home Watch Services
An unoccupied home or property does not remain in a constant, unchanged state indefinitely.
Numerous factors can lead to the deterioration of a structure or property, such as storm damage, leaks, or insect infestation. It is not a matter of if, but when, one or more of these factors will surface. The benefit of utilizing Brazos Home Watch is to provide periodic monitoring to minimize the negative effects they can have on your valuable assets.
We offer standard Home Watch services for clients on a minimum Bi-Weekly basis, customizable per your frequency requirements. We also offer short-term vacation or on-demand services. The Home Watch visits follow extensive interior and exterior visual audits, utilizing standard checklists that are modified per individual client needs. For our inspection and reporting, we use HomeWatchIT, specific software for our industry that provides a GPS/Time/Date Stamp report when we are at your property. This inspection report can be used as evidence to insurance companies that your property is being monitored and not vacant.
Exterior Audit
Checking things such as exterior security and damage check; landscape monitoring; trash/flyer removal; external HOA compliance verification; etc. One goal of the external audit is to help the property not appear unoccupied.
Interior Audit
Checking things such as window and door physical security; visually inspecting for leaks, rodents, and insects; system and appliance checks; water line flushing; etc.
