Interior Checks

Interior checks focus on the systems and conditions inside your home that can’t be monitored from the outside—helping catch small issues before they turn into costly damage.

What We Look For Inside

Climate & Utilities

  • Confirm heating and cooling systems are operating

  • Check interior temperature levels

  • Verify utilities are functioning as expected

  • Identify unusual sounds or system alerts

Structure & Interior Condition

  • Inspect ceilings, walls, and floors for staining or damage

  • Look for cracks, swelling, or signs of moisture

  • Identify unusual odors or humidity

General Interior Observation

  • Watch for signs of pests or animals

  • Check that nothing appears disturbed or out of place

  • Note any changes since the last visit

Plumbing & Water

  • Look for leaks, drips, or moisture

  • Check under sinks, around toilets, and visible plumbing

  • Flush toilets and run faucets (if requested)

  • Monitor water heaters for visible issues

Safety & Security (Interior)

  • Ensure doors and windows are secure from the inside

  • Visual check of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors

  • Confirm alarm systems are undisturbed (no system operation)

What Interior Checks Help Prevent

  • Frozen or burst pipes

  • Undetected water leaks

  • HVAC failures

  • Mold or moisture damage

  • Security concerns in vacant homes

What Interior Checks Are Not

  • Not a home inspection

  • Not a maintenance service

  • Not a repair service

  • Interior checks are observational only. If an issue is found, we document it and notify you promptly so you can decide next steps.

How Often Interior Checks Are Done

  • Weekly

  • Bi-weekly

  • Custom schedules based on occupancy and season

  • Interior checks are typically paired with exterior checks for complete coverage.

Reporting & Communication

  • Date- and time-stamped visit log

  • Photo documentation

  • Clear written summary

  • Immediate notification for urgent concerns

Who Interior Checks Are Best For

  • Seasonal and second homes

  • Vacant or listed properties

  • Extended travel

  • Homes relying on neighbors or cameras for monitoring

Not every home needs the same level of interior monitoring. We’ll help you decide what makes sense for your property.
