Owning a second home, vacation property, or investment home in Brunswick County, NC is a dream — but when that home is left unoccupied for weeks or months, small problems can quickly turn into expensive disasters. From hidden water leaks and mold to storm damage and pest infestations, an unattended home is vulnerable to a range of costly issues.

At Coastal Home Watch & Concierge, LLC, we offer professional, accredited Home Watch services that help prevent these risks. Here’s how routine Home Watch inspections can save you thousands of dollars in repairs — and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

1. Early Detection of Water Leaks and Plumbing Issues

A small water leak or pipe issue can cause severe water damage, mold growth, and even structural issues if left unnoticed. Our detailed Home Watch checks include plumbing inspections — looking at sinks, toilets, tubs, and appliances for signs of leaks, drips, and moisture. Early detection means you can fix the problem before it becomes a major repair.

2. Preventing Mold and Humidity Damage

In a coastal climate like Ocean Isle Beach and Southport, humidity levels can create the perfect environment for mold and mildew. As part of our interior Home Watch inspections, we monitor humidity levels and check for visible signs of mold or mildew — helping prevent serious health risks and costly remediation.

3. Storm and Weather Damage Prevention

Brunswick County homeowners know how quickly tropical storms and hurricanes can cause damage. Our pre-storm and post-storm Home Watch services ensure your home is prepared for severe weather, and inspected promptly afterward for roof damage, flooding, or broken windows — so issues are handled quickly and professionally.

4. Identifying Pest and Rodent Infestations Early

Unoccupied homes are easy targets for rodents, insects, and other pests, especially when unchecked for long periods. We look for signs of infestations and can help coordinate professional pest control if needed — stopping the problem before it grows.

5. Customized Home Watch Plans to Fit Your Needs

Whether you’re a seasonal homeowner, frequent traveler, or rental property owner, we offer weekly, bi-weekly, and as-needed Home Watch services to fit your schedule and specific concerns. Every inspection comes with a detailed report and photos, so you know exactly how your property is being cared for.
