Why Lakeside homes need Home Watch
A quiet Lakeside cottage can hide a drip or a sump that stopped until someone opens the door in spring. Scheduled visits keep that from being a surprise.
What every visit covers
- Exterior walk: roof line, gutters, siding, decks, doors, windows, screens
- Entry points locked and secure; no signs of entry
- Interior: leaks, stains, moisture; under sinks, toilets, water heater, supply lines
- Heat & thermostat verified; sump pump and basement/crawl checked
- Fridge/freezer running; breakers checked; pests or animals
- Mail, packages, and flyers cleared so the place looks lived in
- Same-day photo report by text or email after every visit
Storm, freeze & leak checks
Lake-effect wind and hard freezes hit this stretch of shore. After a storm or outage I confirm the heat, the lines, and that nothing is open to the weather.
