Our Estate Watch Services
Every service we offer is built around one promise: your home will be monitored, documented, and protected — no matter how long you're away.
Interior & Exterior Inspections
Our core service. On every scheduled visit, we conduct a full walkthrough of your property — every room, every access point, every major system. We document with time-stamped photos and send you a detailed report the same day.
What's Included
- All doors, windows, and locks tested
- Interior rooms checked for water intrusion, pest activity, and damage
- Exterior perimeter walked and documented
- Garage, outbuildings, and pool/spa inspected
- Photo report delivered after every visit
HVAC & Climate Monitoring
A failed air conditioner in a Charlotte summer can lead to devastating mold within days. We verify thermostat settings, check that your system is operating within safe parameters, and flag any warning signs before they escalate.
What's Included
- Thermostat settings verified and logged
- Air handler and visible ductwork inspected
- Filter condition noted
- Temperature and humidity readings recorded
- Unusual sounds or odors reported immediately
Plumbing & Water System Checks
Water damage is the leading cause of catastrophic home loss in vacant properties. We run all faucets, flush all toilets, inspect under sinks, and verify the main water shut-off valve — so a drip never becomes a flood.
What's Included
- All faucets run and toilets flushed
- Under-sink areas and visible pipes inspected
- Water heater condition checked
- Main shut-off valve location documented
- Exterior hose bibs and irrigation verified
Security & Access Verification
Vacant homes are targets. Every Meridian inspection includes a full security sweep — testing every entry point, confirming alarm systems are active, and looking for signs of tampering, trespassing, or vandalism.
What's Included
- All entry doors and locks tested
- Windows and sliding doors secured
- Alarm system confirmed armed and functional
- Motion-sensitive lighting verified
- Signs of unauthorized entry or vandalism noted
Vendor & Contractor Coordination
When repairs are needed, you shouldn't have to fly home. We meet licensed contractors at your property, supervise the work, verify it's completed correctly, and send you a full update with photos — seamless and stress-free.
What's Included
- Contractor scheduling and access coordination
- On-site supervision during service visits
- Quality verification upon completion
- Receipts and documentation forwarded to you
- Network of trusted local contractors available
Arrival Preparation
After months away, coming home should feel like a relief — not a chore. Before you return, we prepare your property so it's comfortable and welcoming from the moment you walk through the door.
What's Included
- Thermostat adjusted to comfortable settings
- Property aired out and inspected
- Final condition report completed
- Supplies restocked at your request
- Coordination with cleaning service if needed
Storm Preparation & Damage Assessment
The Carolinas see their share of severe weather. We offer pre-storm preparation visits to secure loose items and verify protection measures, and rapid post-storm assessments so you know your home's status immediately.

- Shutters, covers, and tarps verified
- Post-storm damage walk and photo documentation

- Appliance checks and restarts
- Water system activation or winterization
- Pool and spa seasonal preparation

Pest & Environmental Monitoring
Pests and mold thrive in unoccupied homes. We look for early warning signs on every visit — evidence of insect or rodent activity, unusual odors, moisture accumulation, or visible mold — and act quickly when found.

- Moisture and humidity levels monitored
- Visible mold or mildew noted and reported
- Pest control contractor referral available
