Major Storms and the Home Watch Advantage
The Home Watch advantage can be demonstrated in many ways
but when severe weather hits, our clients are given information and action as
needed no matter where the owner resides or are traveling.
In the months of May and June, Fernandina Beach and the
Amelia Island area had two severe tropical storms cause damage to homes.
Tropical storm Beryl hit with high winds and rain and tropical storm Debbie
stalled leaving over 18” of rain bringing power outages and flooding.
At Home Watch Service Plus we are your eyes and ears as the
storm approaches, during the storm and then during the cleanup and repairing of
properties. This service is referred to as our “Pre-Storm and Post- Storm”
services.
As both Beryl and Debbie approached our area each client
received updates by phone and by email as to what was taking place and expected
during the storm. This communication allowed our clients to inform us how they
wanted their windows, doors, pools, outdoor furniture/BBQ , vehicles, boats and
other personal items taken care of.
During the storm we monitor each home for electrical
outages, water and wind damage and other items as requested. Communication with
all clients take place using smart phones, emails and photos and take place
around the clock as the storm continues.
At Home Watch Service Plus, we inspect each home checking
the primary concerns such as roofs and windows leaking water, tree damage to
homes and personal property, flooding, and electrical concerns with keeping
refrigerators running and food not spoiling. One client wrote back asking us to
check his refrigerator first as this happened years ago and they had chicken
spoil and it took months to get the smell out of the house.
During Beryl and Debbie we experienced tripped electrical breakers,
doors missing, windows and roofs leaking, fences damaged, trees down and limbs
and debris on roofs and in yards and swimming pools. One garage was flooded and
turned personal property on the floor into a mildew nightmare. We worked with a
lot of minor damage that could have been major problems had they not been taken
care of promptly.
Home watching is a service to monitor your home in your
absence. It is a form of house sitting but we do not reside in your home. We
check the home as often as you wish. Whether your home is a second home or you
travel and are away often, make sure you have a plan to assure it is taken care
of in your absence.
