Reliable home security checking at an affordable cost

Home checking involves regular visits to your property by a member of our team. During these visits, we inspect the exterior and interior of your home, checking for signs of damage, security breaches, or other issues. Our goal is to ensure your property remains secure and well-maintained while you're away. 


Most insurance policies require that homeowners have their home checked by a professional during absences.  The frequency of these checks varies from policy to policy therefore we recommend you contact your insurance provider.  While alarm systems provide excellent security  for your home, they are no replacement for physical inspections by an experienced home checker.  Often, HomeCheckers is asked by our clients to visit the home after alarms to ensure there are no issues.  While having family or friends checking in on your home is a viable option, in many cases it is disruptive and inconvenient for people.  


 In the event of an emergency, we have protocols in place to respond quickly and effectively. Our team is available 24/7 to address any urgent situations that may arise, ensuring the safety and security of your property at all times. We also have a network of trusted contractors available to handle any emergency during your absence.


 If we detect any issues during a home check, we'll notify you immediately and provide recommendations for addressing the problem. Depending on the severity of the issue, we can coordinate repairs or take necessary steps to mitigate the problem until you return. 


We proudly serve homeowners in Ottawa and surrounding areas. Whether you have a vacation home, rental property, or primary residence, we're here to help protect your investment and provide you with peace of mind.
