We’ve all heard the disaster stories…the things that happen to vacant homes that are unattended.
Have a game plan. A crucial part of your plan is having your home checked regularly by a reliable home watch service. HWH service plans provide the critical key to knowing your home is not unattended by keeping you connected to your home while you are not there.
We repeatedly see how much can, and often does, go wrong when a house is let unattended. Electricity goes off, generators don’t always go on, leaks seemingly start on their own, pipes break, refrigerators stop working, car batteries run down, insects decide to move in, lawns aren’t always maintained on par, exterior lights burn out, branches fall from trees…the list goes on and on.
One of the most frequent and potentially troublesome problems arises from undetected leaks, broken AC systems and humidity changes in your home is the growth of mildew and mold. Mold and mildew can develop rapidly in Florida’s climate.
One unusual concern we have encountered in an upscale community was a squatter actually taking up residence in a lanai. Not something you would expect or want.
You should not have one of these stories. An unoccupied home is a vulnerable home. Stack the deck in your favor with HWH.
