Home Watch Services Provided By
Annapolis Home Concierge
Through regularly scheduled visits to your home with our Home Watch Services, we complete thorough property checks. These visual inspections are customized to your specific property and your specific needs. At each visit, we cycle the water which includes flushing toilets, and running water in sinks, tubs, and showers, to keep the drain traps wet so there are no smells or drain flies, checking for visible leaks. We also run the dishwasher and washing machine regularly. Ceilings, visible walls, and baseboards are also inspected for signs of water or other damage. Every sink is checked, looking for leaks and insect infestation. We are trained to identify irregularities and to catch a damaging situation in the early stages.
When we discover an issue, we immediately notify you. From there, you can instruct us on how to proceed. In addition to providing a referral from out preferred provider list , we are glad to work with your service providers.
