Home Check Services For Snowbirds
Travel with Peace of Mind: Regular Inspections for Snowbirds by Small Details Inspections
What if something goes wrong at your home while you're away? For snowbirds, maintaining a safe and secure home during extended absences is crucial. At SDI, we offer specialized home monitoring for snowbirds in Metro Vancouver, ensuring that you are kept apprised of the state of your property while you are travelling.
Routine Inspections to Safeguard Your Property
Leaving your home for months at a time leaves it vulnerable to damage and criminal
activity. SDI provides long-term absence home checks for snowbirds, identifying any
obvious issues that arise during your absence. By regularly monitoring your property,
SDI helps alert you to problems early and help you hopefully avoid costly repairs.
Insurance Compliance: Keep Your Coverage Intact
Insurance policies often have requirements you need to meet whenever you leave your home for more than a couple of days. And each insurance company is different, so the requirements under your policy may not be the same as your snowbird friend or neighbor's policy.
Most policies require regular property checks - the timing can vary from every two or three days to weekly or bi-weekly. If you don’t meet the requirements under your policy, any claim you make under your insurance coverage where the damage occurred while you were in breach of this requirement may be denied.
Insurance companies are particularly worried about water damage, whether it be burst pipes in a home or water from above in a condo. And of course, burglaries are another concern.
SDI’s seasonal home inspections for snowbirds ensure that your property meets the necessary home check requirements set by your insurer.
Detailed Reporting to Keep You Informed
One of the significant benefits of SDI’s home check service for snowbirds is providing you with clear, detailed reports. Within 48 business hours of each property check, we send you an electronic report with photos of any visible issues. This way, you stay informed about your property’s condition while you are away.
Flexible Inspection Frequency to Suit Your Needs
Every snowbird has different needs when it comes to how often their property is checked. Whether you want SDI to visit weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, we can tailor our services to suit your requirements. Our seasonal property inspections for snowbirds are flexible and can be adjusted as necessary.
