It is important to have your home monitored while you are away.

 

Some problems that may occur are completely avoidable if someone is there to check on your home. That is why First Home Check was created.

Flooding can be a disaster if left unattended for a week. If discovered, damage can be minimal. Unfortunately disasters do happen. Many times the only thing preventing a home from flooding is a thin plastic hose. Look behind your refrigerator or under your sink and you can see how easy it can happen.

Flooding causes thousands of dollars in damage to floors, furniture, walls and most important your life and can create problems with dangerous mold. Your washing machine, toilet or an ice maker can all fail creating flooding problems.

Left unattended your home could be a prime target to burglars. Opportunists take note to signs of absence. Newspapers, flyers or junk mail piling up could alert a burglar to your absence. Something so simple as the cars staying in the same position could do the same.

 

Problems that may occur while your home is unattended can include:

• Minor water leaks can cause big problems.
• Power outages can reset thermostats and security systems.
• Vehicles left unattended could become mechanically unstable.
• Unattended homes could attract unwanted burglars and vandals.
