Home Watch Service

Keep Track of What Happens While You're Gone

Home Watch Service in Sarasota

If you own a second home or vacation property in Sarasota that sits empty for months at a time, unnoticed problems like leaks, tripped breakers, or security issues can worsen before you return. Seasonal residents and investment property owners face the same risk when no one is checking doors, windows, or monitoring systems between visits.

Upfront Technologies, Inc. provides home watch service that includes scheduled inspections, digital reporting with photos and video, and smart home integration checks. Each visit covers entry points, plumbing and leak detection, electrical panel review, and the status of sensors or automation devices. Reports are timestamped and sent in real time so you know the condition of your home no matter where you are.

If you need consistent oversight for a property in Sarasota while you're away, contact us to discuss scheduling and reporting options.

What Gets Checked and How You Stay Informed

Each inspection follows a documented checklist that covers doors, windows, entry ports, plumbing fixtures, water heater status, electrical panels, and breaker positions. In Sarasota, humidity and storm activity can affect door seals, drainage, and breaker performance, so those areas receive extra attention during each visit.

After each inspection, you receive a digital watch report with photos, video clips, and notes on anything that requires follow-up. If a sensor shows offline status, a breaker has tripped, or water is pooling near a drain line, you know about it the same day.

The service includes smart home integration checks to confirm that cameras, thermostats, and automation devices are online and responding. This does not include emergency repairs or vendor coordination, but issues are flagged so you can address them with the appropriate service provider.

Questions That Come Up Before Starting Service

Here are the practical concerns most property owners ask about when deciding whether home watch service fits their situation.

How often should inspections be scheduled for a seasonal home?

Most seasonal property owners in Sarasota schedule inspections every one to two weeks. Frequency depends on how long the home sits empty and whether smart monitoring systems are already in place.
What happens if a problem is found during an inspection?

You receive immediate notification with photos and a description of the issue. You decide whether to authorize repairs, contact a vendor, or handle it when you return.
What is included in the digital watch report?

The report includes timestamped photos, video documentation, notes on entry points and utilities, and the status of any smart devices or sensors checked during the visit. Reports are sent digitally within hours of each inspection.
Why check smart home devices during each visit?
Black security camera.
Devices can go offline due to power events, software updates, or connectivity issues. Checking them ensures your cameras, thermostats, and sensors are still working and accessible remotely.
What areas are inspected for leaks and plumbing issues?

Inspections cover water heaters, supply lines, drain lines, toilet seals, and visible plumbing under sinks. Any signs of moisture, corrosion, or pooling water are documented and reported immediately.
