Our home watch inspections provide peace of mind through scheduled inspections at your vacant property while you are away. The National Home Watch Association describes a Home Watch inspection as “a visual inspection of a home or property looking for obvious issues.”  During the inspections, we are looking at the overall condition of the home for various problems, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and other items that could become major expenses if not found early. Our goal is to find obvious leaks, pests or mold before they grow old! Potentially, one adverse event could pay for years of Assured Home Watch inspections!  Potentially, one adverse event could pay for years of Assured Home Watch inspections!  

Although our home watch checklist is designed to cover the important aspects of your home, it can easily be customized to meet the needs of our clients. We strive to bring flexibility to our scheduling and home inspections. If there is a need for us to inspect your home at a certain time, on a certain day; we will do everything in our power to meet that need. Again, our future depends on your satisfaction. 

Should the walk through uncover a problem, Assured Home Watch will immediately notify our client to discuss options to address the concern. If it is within our scope of practice, we will gladly work with our client to resolve the issue. We can also provide a wide variety of qualified trades people to assist the homeowner. The homeowner can then instruct Assured Home Watch on how they would like to proceed.
