Most Jersey Shore homes sit empty from October through May. That's exactly when leaks, storms, heating failures, and break-ins do their worst damage — and you're too far away to catch them. We're not.
The Shore Reality
A pipe bursts on a Tuesday in February. By the time a neighbor notices water pouring out the front door, it's been 11 days.
With PropertyPro Home Watch, that same leak is discovered within hours — mitigated, documented, and the right vendor is already on the way before you even land back home.
Why Home Watch matters
Homeowners don't buy Home Watch because it's convenient. They buy it because the alternative — a small problem quietly becoming a catastrophic one — is genuinely terrifying.
Undetected water leaks account for the majority of vacant-home insurance claims. Weekly checks catch them in hours, not weeks.
Many homeowner policies limit or deny coverage when a home is unoccupied for 30–60 days. Documented Home Watch visits are your proof of active oversight.
Piled mail, unlit windows, and untouched exteriors are signals. Regular walkthroughs and rotating presence deter opportunistic entry.
Frozen pipes, ice dams, and heating failures can destroy a home in a single cold snap while you're 1,000 miles away.
What's included
Every walkthrough follows the same detailed protocol so nothing is missed — inside, outside, and everything in between.
Under sinks, water heater, appliances, ceilings, and around toilets — the #1 source of catastrophic damage in vacant homes.
We verify heat, A/C, and thermostat settings so frozen pipes and mold-friendly humidity never sneak up on you.
Before nor'easters and hurricanes we secure the property. After, we do a full damage sweep and report immediately.
Every entry point tested. Signs of forced entry, tampering, or damage documented with photos.
Nothing screams 'empty house' like piled-up deliveries. We collect and secure them on every visit.
Room-by-room inside; roof, siding, gutters, and yard outside. Anything unusual gets photographed.
You get a timestamped report with photos in your inbox within hours — proof of every check.
If we spot an issue, we can meet plumbers, electricians, or contractors so you don't have to fly in.
