An Unoccupied Home Is A Vulnerable Home

So many things can happen to your home when you’re away: break-ins, water leaks, electrical problems, insects, mold, storms… the list goes on.   And preventive measures, such as storm preparation and proactive maintenance, can usually prevent many of these situations from arising at all.   Even if you have a neighbor or relative you trust nearby, a professional looking after your property is a more effective—and safer—option.

Also, home watch service scheduled checks not only help maintain many home warranties you may have in place, but also meet any insurance requirements that a property be either occupied or regularly checked—with our online reporting system providing both proof of visits and records of what was checked, along with any findings.

With our professional training and experience, there are almost no situations we can’t handle with a calculated response. If it’s an emergency, we’ll handle it in the fastest, safest, and most cost-effective way. 

If it’s a non-emergency, we’ll contact you immediately to discuss the situation and our recommended course of action, and get it taken care of for you.

Home Watch STL is not a security service—however, we provide a visible presence in your empty home, which can act as a crime deterrent. 

And we answer alarm calls as well as make ourselves familiar to local law enforcement.

Even a small amount of water or mold can quickly grow to produce a substantial amount of damage. Wood, plaster, and drywall can be ruined, and resulting mold and mildew can be costly to remediate. So the sooner problems are discovered, the less damage there is to deal with.

Most clients opt for a weekly visit during the hard winter months. Some choose bi-weekly, while others tri-weekly visits. It really all depends on how much risk with which you are comfortable. But remember, overall, the longer the time between home checks, the greater the potential for a small issue to grow into a  big problem.  That is not to scare you.  Its just a fact.

 No.  We sign an Agreement which ends when you choose to do so.  The Agreement is only meant to define the terms of our Agreement.

We do request a 3-business days notice if you wish to cancel the Agreement or just a single visit—this way, we can continue servicing your property and avoid over-billing.

Every home is different and in todays world, there are many amenities built into the home which need to be discussed.  Thus, we prefer to tour the home and provide a bid for our services thereafter.
