Why owners call us

An empty house on the coast is a slow-motion problem.

Salt air, humidity and storms don't wait for your next visit. Most of what we catch is cheap to fix in March and ruinous to find in June.

Water damage

A supply line lets go in January and nobody knows until spring. The single most expensive thing that happens to vacant homes.

Humidity & mold

HVAC trips off, humidity climbs, and mold takes the drywall and furnishings. We log temperature and humidity every visit.

Storm damage

Nor'easters and hurricanes. We check before the storm and get eyes on the property after it, so you know within a day.

Break-ins & squatters

An obviously unwatched house is a target. Regular visits, tracks in the drive, and doors that get checked.

Pests & rodents

Mice, ants and worse move into quiet houses. We look in the places they start before they're everywhere.

Insurance exposure

Many policies limit or void coverage on a home left vacant and unchecked. Documented visits protect the claim you hope you never file.

The report is the product

You'll know exactly what we saw.

Every visit ends with a dated, photographed report in your inbox. Not "everything's fine" — the actual checklist, the actual readings, and photos of anything we flagged.

A written checklist

The same points every visit, so you can compare one month to the next and see trends, not just snapshots.

Timestamped photos

Interior, exterior, and close-ups of anything that changed. Proof of the visit and proof of condition.

A call when it matters

If something's wrong, you hear from a person — with options and a price — not a line item in a report you read next week.

The insurance angle

Your policy probably treats an empty house differently.

Standard homeowner policies commonly suspend some coverage once a dwelling has been vacant past 30 or 60 days — and freeze-related water damage is often excluded unless heat was maintained or the water was shut off. The exact wording varies by carrier, so ask your agent what your policy says. What we can do is give you the evidence side: a dated, photographed record that someone verified the heat, the water and the condition of the house — every visit, archived, ready to hand an adjuster.

How it works

Straightforward from the first call.

1 · Walk it together

We meet at the property, learn its quirks, note the shut-offs and the systems, and agree what "normal" looks like.

2 · Set the schedule

Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly — plus extra checks around storms. You pick the rhythm; we hold to it.

3 · Reports arrive

After each visit, a dated photo report lands in your inbox. Problems come with a call and a quote.
