Why Hiring a #Homewatch Pro Is Better Than Your Neighbor
"Hey Can You Check On My House While I'm Gone?"
65% Of our home watch clients have experienced prior problems leaving there precious asset to be supervised by their family member or neighbor. Most homeowners who have a second residence know that a lot can happen to their homes while they are gone for 6 months. Well for first time absentee owners this is most overlooked. They come home surprised to find mold growth that developed from a roof leak, insects and pest have invaded kitchen cabinets, damage from July's Windstorm and worse case some kind of burglary. Many homeowners choose to ask a neighbor to check on their homes while they are gone to save money from hiring a home watch pro which can be a mistake. An untrained eye can pass over many things. While your neighbor is checking at their convenience enters your home inspecting over the general appearance of the home and making sure everything seems normal they are usually missing the small details that are often looked over.
"The Knowledge You want, The Experience You Need.
A lot of our business has been founded on failures of neighbors to watch for our clients homes. Nothing Personal, just the average person doesn't pick up on the details of your home. Just like a doctor can solve health issues by asking about your symptoms a home is very similar!
"My Backyard Is Sinking"
A Phone call we received of a client looking for paver repair as the entire patio around the pool had been sinking a foot. We discovered that the pool was leaking while she was away and the neighbor who was watching her home had no idea until it was too late and the patio had sunk along with $15,000 of paver damage. Our team determined the pool had been leaking for a few months while our client was gone and eroded the pavers underneath causing them to sink. Each Homewatch visit our pro's check the pool levels and equipment.
"There Is Mold In My Bedroom"
A Phone call we received from a client that had a small mold patch in the corner of their bedroom that there family member discovered while watching the home. Our team discovered that the roof had been leaking for several weeks while the homeowner was gone that developed into mold into the sheet-rock. Our pro's found that the plywood on the roof had been leaking where the plywood had began rotting and was compromised. Had the client hired us to watch their home this could of been avoided by our preventative checklist to check attics to watch for leaks and pest. A better Cost than paying 4500.00 Roof repair bill.
"My Flowers Are Dead"
A Phone call where a client complained that their landscape began dying off and was discovered by their neighbor driving by who was watching the home for them. Our pro's discovered upon evaluation that the issue was a broken irrigation head. Our team Inspects irrigation problems before they cause problems. Saving Our clients from having to replace dead plants. Total Replacement of landscape on this one was $3700.00
These are just some of the common overlooked issues that we have experienced. Even a couple of years of hiring us can be cheaper and a issue that could of been prevented.
