Exterior and Property + Interior

Lake Home Watch Services provide scheduled, in-person inspections of unoccupied or seasonal lakefront properties, ensuring they remain secure, well-maintained, and free from issues during the owner’s absence. These services cater specifically to the unique needs of waterfront homes, which may face increased exposure to weather, moisture, wildlife, and seasonal wear. Additionally, interior add-on services can be included to enhance the overall protection of the property.

A home watch professional will regularly check both the exterior and interior of the lake home, searching for signs of water leaks, pest activity, HVAC failures, storm damage, or security breaches. These property inspection services include digital reports with photos after each visit, and if any problems are detected, the homeowner is promptly notified.

Verify that security cameras or alarm systems are active as part of your lake home maintenance routine. Inspect ceilings, walls, and floors for signs of leaks or mold to ensure the integrity of your property. Check under sinks, around toilets, and the water heater for any leaks. Ensure the HVAC system is operational and set to the proper temperature for comfort. Flush toilets and run water in all sinks and tubs to confirm functionality. If the refrigerator/freezer has been left on, check its function as well. Inspect for signs of pest or rodent activity, which can affect your interior add-on services. Ensure that windows and doors have a proper seal and lock for security. If applicable, inspect the basement for water intrusion or humidity issues. Verify that smoke and CO detectors are working. Finally, inspect the sump pump or dehumidifier, if applicable, to ensure proper operation as part of your property inspection services.
