Home watch service is often described as a "mini home / mold inspection". It benefits
the home owner to hire professionals for the job.
Water damage from moisture
intrusion is generally the largest concern of absentee homeowners in Bonita Springs.
A Bonita Springs home watch service
should be able to identify moisture intrusion in your home and the proper way to do that is by using equipment design for
that purpose. Moisture meters and infrared thermal imaging cameras are a must for the serious home watch company.
Most home watch businesses can not afford to invest in the equipment to properly check your Bonita Springs home for moisture
problems. Low end infrared cameras are several thousand dollars and then experience using them is essential.
Mold Inspection companies use infrared
cameras and moisture meters on a daily basis and are trained and experienced in finding and identifying moisture - mold problems.
Your home is one of largest investments
you will ever make, protect your investment while your away.
Whether you're leaving your home for a vacation or for the season,
you should be confident in knowing that your home is in good hands. On-site monitoring will give you piece of mind
so you can relax a little easier.
In
Florida, moisture comes at your home from every direction; hurricanes and wind driven rain to excessive humidity. When
you're not home you should have someone trustworthy check your home. - Was there
damage or water intrusion after a hurricane or tropical storm?
- Did
the condo above or beside ours have a water intrusion that is damaging our unit?
- Is the A/C working? (storms can trip breakers)
- Is the AC removing
the moisture from the air (humidity)
- Is my home secure?
- If I had a problem, who would take care of it?
Request a detailed report with digital images right
to your email. There is peace of mind in having the right home watch service.
These photos were added not to scare anyone;
but we see these problems daily in our mold inspection business. There are thousands of Condos in the Estero, Bonita
Springs and North Naples area and most never have a problem. Home owners need to be aware of the small problems in their
home as soon as possible because as the problem "grows" the cost of repairs increases dramatically.

We can use an infrared thermal imaging camera during our check of your home if we find
any suspect conditions.
Infrared Thermal Imaging
cameras are very helpful in finding water intrusion in a home that often is not visible to the naked eye. This is a
non intrusive method that should be verified by a moisture meter. Though thermal imaging cameras are very useful most
inspectors don't have them. Our cameras are about $18,000. , and are not economical for the average inspector.

We encourage homeowners to have a weekly visits. This helps ensure that your Condominium
owners won't have a minor concern turn into a major problem.
Unfortunately, every Fall,
in our mold inspection business we see condos with severe mold issues because no one checked the unit while it was vacant. Plugged Air Conditioner drain lines, plumbing leaks from above and next door,
window leaks from a turned lawn sprinkler head go from a minor problem to a serious issue when left unchecked.
Your home check person needs to be
trained to identify small issues before they “grow” in serious problems. Home
check person should have the proper equipment to check for moisture and the humidity levels in your condo.
