Storm & Weather Checks

Severe weather can cause damage that isn’t always obvious right away. Freshwater Property Watch provides post-storm and weather-related property checks to identify visible issues and report concerns as quickly as conditions allow.

What Storm & Weather Checks Include

Exterior Weather Assessment

  • Walk the property perimeter when conditions are safe

  • Look for storm-related damage to siding, trim, and visible structures

  • Check rooflines, gutters, and downspouts from ground level

  • Identify fallen branches, debris, or obstructions

  • Observe standing water, drainage concerns, or erosion

Access & Security

  • Verify doors, windows, and garages remain secure

  • Check for signs of forced entry following severe weather

  • Confirm exterior lighting and visible access points are intact

Interior Observation (if requested)

  • Look for visible water intrusion or moisture

  • Check ceilings, walls, and floors for new staining

  • Observe unusual odors or humidity

  • Verify heating or cooling systems are operating (visual check)

Common Weather Events We Monitor

  • Heavy rain and flooding

  • Wind and hail storms

  • Snow and ice events

  • Extended power outages

  • Seasonal freeze / thaw cycles

How Storm Checks Are Scheduled

  • Automatically triggered for home watch clients

  • Requested as a one-time service

  • Scheduled following severe weather alerts

  • Availability and timing depend on safety, road conditions, and regional impact.

What Storm & Weather Checks Are Not

  • Not emergency response

  • Not cleanup or debris removal

  • Not a substitute for professional inspections

  • Storm checks are observational only and performed when conditions are safe.

What Storm & Weather Checks Help Prevent

  • Undetected storm damage

  • Water intrusion and moisture issues

  • Security risks after severe weather

  • Delayed insurance or repair responses

  • Small problems turning into major repairs

Reporting & Communication

  • Date- and time-stamped documentation

  • Photo reports of visible concerns

  • Clear written summary

  • Prompt notification if urgent issues are identified

Who Storm & Weather Checks Are Best For

  • Seasonal or second homes

  • Vacant or unoccupied properties

  • Properties in high-wind or coastal areas

  • Owners unable to return immediately after storms

Weather happens whether you’re there or not. Storm checks provide timely insight when you can’t be on-site.
