What home watch means
A consistent human check, not passive monitoring.
Guardemar enters the property according to an agreed schedule and follows a property-specific checklist. The purpose is to record visible condition, identify changes and give the owner a useful next action.
The visit is visual and non-invasive. It complements alarms, sensors, pool companies, gardeners and technical contractors without replacing their specialist responsibilities.

How often should a home be checked?
The right frequency depends on vacancy periods, property type, location, water systems, external areas and the level of activity around the home.
