my home is armed, why do i need home watch?
Vacancy Clause: Every property insurance policy has it. In today's day and age, property owners are starting to pay attention to that vacancy clause (Insurance Adjusters are doing the same). Should something happen while you're away (and your home was not being checked on) the likelihood of your insurance company honoring your claim is slim-to-none. As many property owners move away from asking a friend or family member for a favor concerning their most valuable asset and look to a professional service with Liability Insurance.

why WOULDN'T i just ask my NEIGHBOuR, friend or family member?
Every property owner should raise the following questions when asking a favor regarding their most valuable asset:
Q) Will they actually remember to check?
A) Hopefully
Q) If they check, will they be thorough enough?
A) Hopefully
Q) If they don't check and something happens, how do you hold them accountable for something they were only doing as a favor?
A) Unfortunately, you can't.
Unless the at-fault individual admits to fault, the responsibility and liability falls to the policy holder. If the at-fault individual does not admit to fault, a civil suit would need to be initiated for damages. Hiring registered and insured professionals removes liability and competency risk.
