What Is Estate Watch — And Why Does It Matter?
Estate watch — also known as home watch — is a scheduled, professional inspection of your unoccupied property while you're away. A trained inspector visits your home on a regular basis, checks every area inside and out, and documents the condition with detailed photo reports.
Most major home disasters start small. A slow pipe leak. A failed air conditioning unit. A broken window seal. When nobody's watching, those minor issues escalate — undetected mold, structural water damage, and pest infestations can cost tens of thousands to remediate. Estate watch stops that spiral early.
Whether you're a snowbird heading north for the summer, a frequent traveler, or managing an estate property, Meridian Home Watch provides the professional eyes and ears your home deserves.

Estate Watch Questions, Answered
What is home watch (estate watch)?+
Home watch — also called estate watch — is a regular, professional inspection of a vacant or unoccupied property. On each visit we walk the entire home inside and out, check the major systems, and send you a documented photo report so you always know your property's condition while you're away.
How often should a vacant or second home be checked?+
Most insurance providers and home watch professionals recommend at least weekly visits for unoccupied homes. Many issues — like a slow plumbing leak or an HVAC failure — cause major damage within days, so regular visits are key. We offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly plans based on your needs.
Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes. Meridian Estate Watch is fully insured and carries professional liability coverage, and we follow National Home Watch Association best practices. Every inspection follows a documented checklist for consistency and accountability.
Will my insurance require home watch visits?+
Many homeowners' insurance policies require that a vacant property be checked on a regular schedule — and some claims can be denied if it wasn't. Our documented, time-stamped reports give you proof that your home was being professionally monitored.
What happens if you find a problem?+
If we find an issue, we contact you right away, recommend a qualified local contractor, and can coordinate and supervise the repair on your behalf — so you don't have to fly home for a service call.
