Exterior and Property

Lake Home Watch Services offer scheduled, in-person inspections of unoccupied or seasonal lakefront properties to ensure they remain secure, well-maintained, and free from issues during the owner’s absence. These home watch services cater specifically to the unique needs of waterfront homes, which may face increased exposure to weather, wildlife, and seasonal wear.

A home watch professional will conduct regular exterior property checks on your lake home, looking for signs of water leaks, pest activity, or security breaches. After each visit, digital reports with photos are emailed, and if any problems are identified, the homeowner is notified immediately.

Conduct thorough exterior property checks by inspecting the shoreline and seawall for any signs of erosion or damage. Check the structural integrity of the dock, boat lift, watercraft, or pier. Look for any debris or driftwood accumulation that may have gathered. Examine the exterior for indications of water intrusion or excessive moisture, and inspect the siding and windows facing the lake for weather wear. Walk the property perimeter to ensure safety and look for any signs of forced entry or vandalism. Inspect the roof, gutters, and downspouts from ground level, and ensure that all doors and windows are secure. Remove any mail, flyers, and packages that could signal a lack of activity. Confirm that the landscaping appears well-maintained and check for pest nests, such as bees or rodents. Additionally, evaluate the condition of exterior lighting and test the backup generator if requested by the owner. These steps are essential components of effective home watch services and lakefront property inspections.
