Why Home Watch?

🏡 Why Home Watch?

Because peace of mind shouldn’t depend on good luck.

Owning a home — or a second home — in upstate New York is a dream come true. But whether it’s lakefront property in the Finger Lakes or a quiet home in Rochester’s suburbs, leaving it unattended for weeks or months can lead to costly surprises.

That’s where Home Watch comes in.

Home Watch is a professional service that provides regular, scheduled inspections of your home or property while you’re away. Think of it as a proactive insurance policy — not one that pays for damage after it happens, but one that helps you prevent it in the first place.

🔍 What Can Go Wrong When a Home Is Vacant?

Even the most well-built homes can develop problems quickly when no one’s around to notice.

• A furnace failure during a cold snap can freeze your pipes.
  
  

• A minor roof leak can turn into major water damage.
  
  

• Power outages can disable sump pumps and cause flooding.
  
  

• Piled-up mail or flyers can signal to others that no one’s home.
  
  

By the time you—or your neighbor—notice, the damage could already be done.

A Home Watch service helps prevent that. We catch small issues before they become big, expensive problems.

🧰 What Does a Home Watch Visit Include?

Every visit from Third ROC Home Watch includes a thorough inspection of your property, inside and out. We check:

• 🔧 Plumbing systems for leaks or signs of freezing
  
  

• 🔥 Heating systems to confirm they’re running safely
