Why St. Joseph homes need Home Watch
An empty St. Joseph house does not call you when the heat drops or a window leaks after a blow off the lake. A scheduled walk-through catches it while it is still a small job.
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
Storms stack ice and water against the lakeside of the house. After a hard freeze, outage, or wind event I confirm the heat is on, lines are intact, and the sump is alive.
