Swiss Homewatchers take Care of your Home
The dream of home ownership in Naples can quickly become a nightmare when you’re away. Not only Florida’s harsh climate but also pests, mold, mildew and burglary are a threat we all face. Swiss Homewatchers take care of your home as if it were our own. While you are away, we make sure that your home is looked after, the way you would.
We provide a wide range of services which can be customized to your individual needs.
Leakage & Water Damage
Even a small leak can quickly create a lot of damage between the sitting water, the smell of stagnant water, and the potential for mold or mildew. Swiss Homewatchers will look through the home in common areas for leaks to ensure nothing is leaking. If a leak is found, we will alert you to the problem and help you with the next steps to have it repaired and the home restored.
Collecting Mail & Newspapers
When the homeowner is away, the mail and newspapers start to accumulate in the mailbox or on the driveway. Swiss Homewatchers company will collect all of these newspapers, mail, and flyers and place them inside the home in a single location. This helps you ensure that everything is collected, so nothing is missing when you get back home.
Electrical Equipment Failure
Summer heat combined with humidity and dampness can result in corrosion, mechanical and electrical equipment failure. Salt air can create corrosion on anything metal, rubber and plastic – inside and outside your home.
Florida’s many thunderstorms could mean lightning strikes, frequent power surges and brown-outs which damage electrical systems and appliances, power outages and tripped circuit breakers. Swiss Homewatchers monitors and inspects your home and property, protecting your investment and providing you with peace of mind. We know what can go wrong and we know what to look for.
