Home Watch Services
Trusted Property Monitoring for True Peace of Mind
When your home is unoccupied for extended periods, small issues can quickly turn into costly problems if left unnoticed. Our professional Home Watch Services provide homeowners with the reassurance that their home is being carefully monitored and cared for while they are away.
Snowbird Guardian provides comprehensive, regularly scheduled home checks of both the interior and exterior of your home, confirming that every important detail is carefully monitored. Each visit is performed using a detailed checklist designed to identify potential concerns early—from water leaks and system malfunctions to weather damage or security concerns.
We conduct a 360-degree exterior home check and a detailed interior evaluation, confirming that no aspect of the home is overlooked. During our visits, we also cycle water zones and monitor the home for any irregularities or abnormalities that could indicate potential concerns.
Clear, proactive communication is essential to the trust we build with every client. After each visit, we provide photo documentation and a detailed digital report delivered directly to your email, keeping you informed about the condition of your home at all times. If any concern arises, we promptly notify you and coordinate the appropriate solution, including vendor coordination when needed.
Our commitment to transparency and proactive care is what sets Snowbird Guardian Home Watch apart, providing peace of mind for every client.
What Our Home
Watch Services Include
Our professional Home Watch Services include comprehensive home checks of both the interior and exterior of your home. Each visit follows a detailed checklist, includes photo documentation, and concludes with a clear digital report delivered to your email.
These scheduled visits help keep your home well cared for and well maintained while you are away.
Exterior 360 Home Watch
During each visit, we conduct a full 360-degree walkthrough of the exterior of your home, including outbuildings and landscaping, to confirm everything is in excellent condition.
Our exterior home checks help identify early signs of damage, weather exposure, drainage concerns, pest activity, or potential security concerns.
Exterior 360 Home Watch Checklist
View the outside of the home to review its overall condition and maintenance:
- Walk the perimeter of the property (check fences, gates, walkways, and driveway)
- Examine the home for broken windows, forced entry, or vandalism
- Remove newspapers, flyers, and mail from the mailbox/entry
- Assess the roof for damage, missing shingles, or tree branches
- Check gutters and downspouts for clogs or damage. Confirm they are attached and draining away from the foundation.
- Check for ice dams during the winter.
- Examine siding, paint, and trim for cracks or peeling.
- Check screens or sunroom enclosures for signs of damage.
- Confirm exterior lighting is operating properly.
- Check for water pooling or drainage concerns around the foundation.
- Check for damage caused by storms, erosion, or fallen trees.
- Check that landscaping, trees, shrubs, and gardens are well maintained and that landscaping services have been completed.
- Check outdoor faucets for leaks or other concerns.
- During the winter, check whether snow removal has been completed.
- Confirm light shoveling has been performed around the garage and front step.
- Look for signs of pest infestations or animal intrusions.
- Check patio furniture, the grill, and other outdoor décor.
- Check boat, car, and e-bike storage areas.
These evaluations help keep your home well maintained and visually appealing while reducing the risk of environmental damage during your absence.
Interior 360 Home Watch
Inside the home, we monitor the key systems and components that keep your home operating efficiently. We review essential home systems, appliances, plumbing, and safety devices to confirm they are functioning properly.
Interior monitoring is especially important for identifying concerns such as water leaks, HVAC malfunctions, humidity buildup, or electrical issues before they become more significant.
Interior Home Watch Checklist
Monitor the inside of the home to support the operation of essential systems:
- Check the thermostat for proper settings and operation.
- Check the HVAC system, water softener, and water heater, and change the furnace filter monthly.
- Examine all doors, windows, and sliders to confirm they are closed and locked.
- Test faucets, showers, toilets, and sump pumps for leaks or signs of water damage.
- Check that the water heater and appliances are functioning properly (refrigerators, freezers, wine coolers, dishwasher, washer, and dryer).
- Operate a rinse cycle on the dishwasher.
- Operate a rinse cycle on the washing machine.
- Operate the garbage disposal and flush with water.
- Review windows, ceilings, and walls for leaks or stains.
- Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
- Check doors, windows, locks, and alarm systems.
- Evaluate flooring, carpets, walls, and moldings for signs of damage or moisture.
- Check lighting and replace bulbs as needed.
- Confirm trash and recycling have been collected, where applicable.
- Check mail, package deliveries, and any seasonal or concierge requests.
After each home check, the Home Reporter documents any concerns, captures photos, and promptly coordinates with trusted vendors when additional attention is required.
