Frequently asked questions
How often should a home watch service inspect a property?
Most professional home watch companies and insurance carriers recommend checking the home once per week.
Reasons:
- Water leaks can cause major damage in just a few days
- HVAC failures can lead to mold quickly in Florida humidity
- Storm damage may go unnoticed
- Pests or insects can spread rapidly
- Insurance policies sometimes require regular inspections to avoid a vacancy exclusion
Weekly visits allow problems to be caught early before they become expensive.
What about Bi-weekly inspections (acceptable for some homes)?
Some homeowners choose every two weeks if:
- the home is newer
- it has water shut off
- it has leak detectors
- it has security cameras or smart monitoring
However, many professionals still prefer weekly.
What about Monthly inspections (not recommended)
Monthly checks are usually too long between visits, especially in Southwest Florida where:
- humidity is high
- plumbing leaks spread quickly
- mold can develop fast
That’s why most Naples home watch companies avoid monthly service.
