Home Watch is a professional visual inspection service for unoccupied homes. Palm Shores Home Watch provides scheduled inspections of your home while you are away, looking for visible signs of problems such as water leaks, plumbing issues, HVAC concerns, electrical problems, storm damage, security issues, or other conditions that may require attention.

A security system can alert you to certain events, but it cannot visually inspect your home. Home Watch provides an in-person inspection of the interior and exterior of your property, helping identify problems that an alarm system may not detect.

Palm Shores Home Watch offers weekly or bi-weekly home inspections, depending on your home’s needs and your time away.

We recommend regular inspections because too much can go wrong when an unoccupied home is left unchecked for extended periods. A small water leak, HVAC issue, power outage, or increased humidity can quickly become a much larger and more costly problem.

For example, mold can begin developing in as little as 72 hours under the right environmental conditions. Regular Home Watch inspections help identify potential problems early—before a minor issue becomes a major one.

Our goal is simple: catch problems early, report them promptly, and help protect your home while you’re away.

It is possible, depending on the terms and conditions of your homeowner’s insurance policy. If a loss occurs while you are away and the policy’s occupancy or inspection requirements have not been met, your insurer may question or potentially deny coverage for certain claims.

Palm Shores Home Watch strongly recommend reviewing your policy and speaking directly with your insurance agent to understand what is required while your home is unoccupied.

Regular Home Watch inspections will help provide documented evidence that your property was being routinely checked while you were away.

A friend or neighbor may be helpful, but professional Home Watch provides a level of training, consistency, documentation, and accountability that a casual check-in may not.

The National Home Watch Association (NHWA) defines Home Watch as a scheduled visual inspection looking for obvious issues. NHWA-accredited professionals must also meet standards for background checks, insurance and bonding, consumer complaint reviews, and adherence to a professional Code of Ethics.

A professional Home Watch inspection provides documented, consistent oversight of your home while you’re away—giving you greater confidence and peace of mind.

Water damage and mold are among the most serious concerns for an unoccupied home. A small plumbing leak, appliance failure, roof leak, or HVAC issue can go unnoticed and cause significant damage over time.

Mold can develop rapidly when moisture and humidity are present. Regular Home Watch inspections help identify water intrusion, leaks, moisture, and other warning signs before a small problem becomes a major one.

Home Watch pricing depends on factors such as the size of the home, inspection frequency, and services requested. Contact Palm Shores Home Watch for a personalized quote based on your property’s needs.
