When Might You Need Home Watch?

A home can be unoccupied for many reasons beyond travel. Whether you’re planning time away or navigating a life transition, Nexiaa provides a dependable local presence through structured, documented Home Watch visits.

  • Whether you’re away for a few weeks, an entire winter or several times throughout the year, Nexiaa looks after your home through scheduled, documented visits. Each visit is designed to identify visible irregularities and is followed by a report.

  • A property may be unoccupied while listed for sale, between a seller’s move-out and a buyer’s move-in, or after purchase before the new owner takes occupancy. Nexiaa conducts regular visits during this transition and reports any visible irregularities observed.

  • Following the loss of a loved one, family members or estate liquidators may need to oversee a home from a distance. Nexiaa conducts structured, documented visits while the estate is being settled or the property is awaiting sale.

  • An extended hospital stay, rehabilitation or a move into a seniors’ residence can leave a home temporarily unoccupied. Nexiaa provides scheduled visits and sends a report after each visit to the client or an authorized contact.

  • When a professional assignment requires you to leave home temporarily, Nexiaa provides a dependable local presence. Our service may be especially relevant to relocated professionals, expatriates, deployed Canadian Armed Forces members and RCMP officers on assignment.

  • For owners who do not occupy their homes year-round, or whose rental properties are temporarily vacant between tenants, Nexiaa conducts structured, documented visits to identify visible irregularities and provide reliable follow-up from a distance.

Home insurance

Know your home insurance coverage. Leave with peace of mind.

Your home insurance policy may include certain requirements while you’re away. Before you leave, check your policy’s terms with your insurer.

Nexiaa can then tailor the visit frequency to the needs you specify and document every visit according to the schedule agreed upon with you.

Requirements vary by insurer and policy. Check your obligations directly with your insurer. Nexiaa does not provide insurance advice and cannot guarantee that a claim will be eligible for coverage.

The NEXIAA Home Watch protocol

What we check

Here are the main items we check.

  • Walk around the home to check for any visible issues with the exterior cladding, roof, gutters and landscaping.

  • Walk through every room to look for signs of water infiltration on ceilings, walls and floors, signs of pests or insects, and electrical appliances left running. Check that doors and windows are properly closed and locked, and note any unusual sounds or odours.

  • Check every room, including the garage, for leaks, excess moisture or signs of mould.

  • Check that the systems are operating properly and that temperature and humidity levels are as intended.

  • Check for visibly tripped breakers in the electrical panel or panels. Check lighting used to make the home appear occupied, including lamps on timers. Test the on, off and automatic settings.

  • Check the condition of faucets and piping for sinks, bathtubs and showers. Look for obvious issues such as dripping faucets, leaks, slow drains or drain flies.

  • Check that the stove, refrigerator, dishwasher and all other household appliances are turned off or left in the mode specified by the homeowner.

  • Check the condition of windows and screens, and make sure the locking mechanisms are in the locked position.

  • Check the thermostat and room temperature to make sure they match the homeowner’s instructions. Also check humidity levels if the equipment allows.

  • Report any irregularities or unusual conditions.

  • Collect any mail and parcels left outside to avoid signs that the home is unoccupied.
