Questions we get every season

Home watch is a scheduled visual inspection of a vacant or seasonally occupied home. A technician walks the interior and exterior looking for evidence of water intrusion, mold, pests, storm damage, HVAC failure and security issues, then documents the visit with photos. It is not house sitting and it is not a security patrol — it is early detection, so a small problem never becomes a five figure insurance claim.

Most homeowners on our schedule choose a visit every 7 to 14 days, and weekly is the most common choice for a summer away. Humidity, power interruptions and plumbing failures move fast in this climate — a supply line that lets go on day two of a three month absence is a very different repair than one caught on day seven. Ask your insurance agent whether your policy sets a specific interval and we will build the schedule around it.

Some homeowners insurance policies contain special requirements or coverage limitations when a residence is vacant or unoccupied for an extended period. Ask your insurance agent what your specific policy requires. HomeCrew provides documented, timestamped reports after scheduled visits, and we are happy to send your agent a sample report. We are not insurance advisers and we cannot guarantee coverage.

Once conditions are safe, we perform a post-storm inspection within 24 to 48 hours and send a photo report covering the roof line, windows, doors, pool cage, screens and any water intrusion. If repairs are needed we coordinate vendors and stay on site so you do not have to fly back.

Five Florida counties, from our base in Stuart: Indian River County, St. Lucie County, Martin County, Palm Beach County and Broward County. That covers the coast from Vero Beach down through Fort Lauderdale. If your home is inside that footprint we can put it on a schedule.

Yes. We carry general liability coverage and are bonded, and we will send proof of coverage before you sign anything.

No. The home assessment is free and there is nothing to sign before someone has seen the house. Service is month to month and the visit schedule moves when your travel does.
