Home Watch Services

Owners of principle or secondary residences (home or condominium) are often left wondering about the condition of their properties when traveling, vacationing or simply occupying an alternative seasonal residence.  Leaving a property vacant or unoccupied for any period of time can result in unexpected emergencies and headaches.  Hiring a qualified property management company to regularly visit, monitor and inspect your property during times of absence can greatly reduce some of these potential risks.  The frequency and level of service each home owner might desire can be matched to meet their budget and anticipated home occupancy.

A/C

In Florida, properly operating air conditioners are of primary importance.  A/C equipment failures due to voltage spikes in electrical service, lack of regular service, clogged condensation lines, component failure, low refrigerant gas, or even tripped breakers, can result in a complete system shut down.  Even a partial a/c shut down can create problems for a home owner in a very short period of time.

WATER

Water damage from leaking a/c systems or ruptured water supply lines can be very extensive and costly to repair, even when discovered in a timely fashion.  Condominium owners have an additional liability when a water leak develops or originates from within their unit’s interior.  A relatively small amount of water will quickly penetrate to lower floors with the potential to cause additional significant damage to other association units or property.

MOLD

Failed or inoperable a/c equipment can also lead to very rapid mold and mildew formation within the interior of a home due to Florida’s tropical climate.  Clean up of this type of damage in many cases will require the hiring of specialized companies licensed to properly remove and handle potentially hazardous materials.

SECURITY

Vandalism, theft or environmental damage can all be good reasons to have a home physically inspected on a regular schedule.  Undetected broken windows, unreported forced entry, storm related damage can all lead to farther, more extensive home damage which would be minimized with early detection.
