very important to detect in the early stages.
Cycling the Water: Your Home Watch Professional will run the water in all sinks, showers,
tubs and flush toilets.
Bugs: They should be living outside – not in your home!

Florida ~ especially in the summer months while your home is vacant. It must be serviced
regularly and filters changed periodically. The thermostat and de-humidistat should be set
properly and adjusted when necessary.

vandalism. The pool level, lawn service, etc. is looked after and the condition will be reported.

Concierge Services: Items like shopping, meeting vendors, taking the car to be serviced,
dropping off/picking up dry cleaning and more are offered.

claim needs to be filed. It could be something as simple as a fallen tree or as extensive as water
damage, broken windows or a major repair.

looking after the property when it is vacant.
