Home Watch Columbus
Columbus’ First and Only Accredited Home Watch Provider
Are you a snowbird or seasonal resident? Are you leaving your home for an extended trip? Has an unexpected circumstance taken you away from home? Is your loved one recovering in rehab, leaving their house unoccupied for an undetermined length of time? Are you a Realtor, Builder or Attorney with an unoccupied property?
What can go wrong?
Roof leak, HVAC or sump pump failure, pest infestation, burst pipes resulting in costly damage including mold growth, squatters…just to name a few. A vacant home is a vulnerable home in many ways. Small issues, if not caught early, can quickly cause significant damage resulting in costly, time consuming repairs.
The definition of home watch is the visual inspection of a home or property looking for obvious issues and potential problems. Home Watch Columbus can help manage your risk, protect your investment, and provide you peace of mind while you are away from home. Home watch is an essential service. In fact, some insurance carriers deny claims if the homeowner left their home unoccupied for a period of time and did not engage a professional home watch provider.
Home Watch Columbus is accredited, bonded, and insured. We understand the challenges that come with a vacant property. Our goal is simple – provide our clients with peace of mind while they are away from home. Allow us to put our expertise in property management to work, protecting your investment, as if it is our own.
How does home watch work?
Home Watch Columbus will perform regularly scheduled, multi-point interior and exterior inspections of your home, sending you pictures and a detailed report after each visit. Should an issue arise, we will promptly notify you, and with your direction, manage the situation in a timely, efficient manner. Between our property management experience and wide-ranging access to contractors and resources, we are confident we can manage any situation.

Derek Torrence2024-07-01Home Watch Columbus turned out to be the best investment I've ever made for my home! Susan is very thorough and quick to respond to any issues. My home decided that just a few weeks after I left the state, my sump pump would break. I had some water sensors that were being triggered and Susan was there the next day, then made a few follow up visits to ensure the service company could gain access to the home and get the job home. The second time she saved us from a world of hurt was when she found that our water heater was leaking gas. She made special trips to give the gas company access to the home, as well as a few trips for the company that was replacing it The third time was when my mailbox mysteriously fell over. She got it repaired the next day. I don't want to ramble, but I really can't thank Susan enough! Home Watch Columbus has been the best investment I've ever made for my home!
