Home Watch Services
Our primary Basic Home Watch Service includes weekly or biweekly visits to conduct comprehensive interior and exterior visual inspections of your home and property. By identifying obvious issues like water leaks, mold, pests, and temperature damage early, we prevent minor problems from escalating into costly disasters while you are away. Our standard protocol follows a rigorous checklist based on National Home Watch Association best practices, which we can fully customize to your specific property needs to ensure your home remains safe, dry, and secure.

Why It Matters
Unoccupied homes in the Midwest face real challenges — fluctuating humidity, severe storms, and the kind of slow-developing problems that go unnoticed until they become costly repairs. A pipe begins to leak, a sump pump fails, or moisture creeps into a basement, and without anyone there to catch it early, minor issues can spiral quickly. Routine inspections change that. By keeping a consistent eye on your property, potential problems are identified and addressed before they escalate — protecting your investment and giving you genuine peace of mind while you're away.
Integrity You Can Count On, Details You Can Review
Pool Care & Maintenance
Our professional pool care and maintenance services keep your water crystal clear, safe, and swim-ready all season long. We handle every detail of pool ownership, from comprehensive seasonal openings to get the summer off to a strong start to secure winterization to protect your equipment. During the swim season, our routine maintenance handles precise water testing, chemical balancing, wall brushing, and surface skimming. We also conduct routine equipment inspections, backwash filters, and empty skimmer baskets to maximize circulation and prevent unexpected breakdowns so you can relax and enjoy your oasis.
Trusted Vendor Management
Leveraging our deep network of vetted partners, we schedule, meet, and chaperone service professionals in your home. Every business we recommend is accountable, trustworthy, and stands behind its work. Because we are independent advocates rather than subcontractors, our sole goal is to ensure your exact requests are met. Per your instructions, we grant access and oversee a wide range of trusted professionals.
Storm & Winter Services
We take the stress out of bad weather with proactive property prep, storm recovery, and winter maintenance. Before severe weather hits, our pre-storm services secure your property by storing outdoor items and clearing away potential hazards. As soon as the storm passes, we hit the ground running with high-priority inspections to check for damage and quickly coordinate any needed cleanup or emergency repairs. Plus, when winter sets in, our dependable snow removal team keeps your driveways, walkways, and patios completely clear, making sure your home stays safe and easy to access all season long.
Short-Term Rental Assistance
We assit you in successfully managing your vacation home through VRBO, Airbnb, or other platforms. With our secure keyholder services, detailed home oversight, and coordinated cleaning and maintenance, you'll experience true peace of mind managing rentals—even with guests you've never met. We make sure your property stays guest-ready, well-maintained, and protected—helping you reduce costly issues, improve guest experiences, and maximize your rental income. We handle the day-to-day details so your property stays in top condition year-round.
Move-In & Move-Out Services
If you are purchasing, selling, or transitioning a home, Hamilton County Home Watch can help manage the details while you are away. For new homeowners not moving in right away, our home watch services help protect your investment and monitor your vacant property. We assist with move-in coordination by meeting with movers, contractors, appliance deliveries, and service providers—ensuring everything is ready before you arrive. Move Services Include: • Move-in coordination • Vendor and contractor oversight • Cleaning and preparation • Property monitoring during transitions
Concierge and Errand Services
While you're away, your vehicle stays in good shape. We handle battery maintenance, regular engine starts, and periodic drives to prevent flat spots and keep everything running smoothly. When it's time for an oil change or routine service, we coordinate with your preferred provider so your car is ready to go the moment you're back behind the wheel. Need a ride to or from the airport? We can handle that too. We also take care of the small but important details that pile up when you're gone. Groceries can be stocked before your return, mail is collected and kept secure, and packages are picked up promptly, so nothing sits on your doorstep. Beyond our standard offerings, we work with each client individually. If you have a specific need that isn't covered in our regular services, just ask. Chances are, we can make it happen!
How It Works
Consultation - Step 1
We start by learning about your property, how often it’s unoccupied, and what level of service you need. This allows us to recommend the right inspection schedule and support plan.
Scheduled Home Visits - Step 2
We perform consistent, professional visual inspections on the schedule you choose. Our top priority is spotting any visible issues early and keeping a close eye on your home’s overall well-being.
Maintenance Oversight - Step 3
After every visit, we send you a clear update so you always know exactly what’s happening at home. If we spot an issue, we’ll let you know right away and help you handle the next steps.
