Secure your home with Home Checks from All About Details Cleaning

During these cold winter months in Canada it is very common for families to escape the cold and head south for a vacation. Keep your peace of mind and your home insurance in tact with Home Checks. Whether you are going on a short vacation or you are a snowbird who is leaving for several months, you can ensure your home’s safety by having All About Details Cleaning check your home periodically. We keep an eye on your property when you aren’t able to.

Your Insurance Policy

Each home insurance policy is different, but the one thing that they all have in common is that a home owner is required to have someone go into and check their home while they are away. All About Details Cleaning can help avoid making your coverage invalid with our Home Checks service. This will keep your home protected by your insurance if a disaster does occur while you are away.

Interior Inspection

We perform a complete walk through of the inside of your home and garage. We check for any unlocked windows or doors and evidence of water leaks. We check for signs of mice or any other issue that might occur in your home.

Exterior Inspection

We will walk around the perimeter of the house to check the grounds. We will pick up and dispose of any left fliers or papers as well as collect all mail and deliveries.

Other Ways to Protect Your Home

Ensure everything is locked

This might seem like common sense, but there are many areas of our home that we leave unsecured on a daily basis. One of the biggest problems we see are secondary doors. For example, how often do you lock the door inside your garage? This is one door we do recommend locking while you are away.

Hide your spare keys

That key that you leave under the mat isn’t safe even when you are home, but it is even more important to remove them before you leave on vacation. Everyone thinks their new hiding spot is safe, but it is better not to take the risk at all.

Install timers on your lights

A dark house is an easy target while you are away. To keep the appearance that someone is home, purchase timers for your lights. They sell timers that create a random pattern, so your lights don’t turn on each evening at 6pm sharp.

We understand that peace of mind is important so you can enjoy your time away from Kelowna.
