How Is A Crisis Situation Handled?
When a crisis occurs, (and they can) you will be glad we are watching over your home! You will have peace-of-mind because you have a professional service in place to handle these upsetting events.
A crisis is handled on the spot. There may not be time to call the homeowner to get pre-approval for expenditures in this case. The main concern in a crisis is to get the situation under control as fast as possible. You will be called as soon as it is feasible. Many times a homeowner can not be reached immediately and the situation can not wait. We have saved further destruction of homes by fast action. Your crisis may need an immediate plumber, electrician, sewer technician or handyman before we can locate you. We completely handle any crisis. This is one of the qualities you will want from a home service company like ours. When hiring an “absentee home watcher” always ask yourself whether the company/person you are hiring can efficiently handle emergency situations? This is what separates a professional service from the local person who “watches homes on the side.” We focus solely on our business and we have the highest reputation to prove it!
World Wide Access:
We report all our activities to you from the comfort of your PC or laptop computer. You can see our work from anywhere in the world via Internet access. While you are away, you will be given special access to online messages and digital photos of your home and any needed work or repairs. Now you can relax and leave the details to us.
All home visits are documented and digitally photographed per your requirements. A copy of our checklist and pictures will be forwarded to you at your request.
