about us

Home Watch by Firefighters brings a new level of protection for your home. We have extensive knowledge of home care and protection against potential vulnerabilities to your home.

Why a “Smart Home” Isn’t Enough – Trust Firefighter-Owned Protection for Your Florida Property

Don’t fall for the “maintenance-free” myth—even the most advanced smart home systems can’t replace human eyes and proactive care. At Homewatch by Fire Fighters, our custom Florida home watch plans deliver true peace of mind for snowbirds, vacation homeowners, and absentee owners. With weekly, biweekly, or tailored visits, our firefighter-trained team thoroughly inspects every system, catches small problems early, and responds quickly to issues such as power outages, HVAC failures, pool equipment malfunctions, or storm-related concerns—preventing thousands in potential damage.

Protect Your Florida Home Insurance Coverage

Many Florida homeowner insurance policies reduce coverage, increase premiums, or deny claims entirely if a property is considered unoccupied or vacant for more than 30–60 days (check your policy’s vacancy clause). Regular documented visits from Homewatch by Fire Fighters help prove ongoing occupancy and monitoring, supporting compliance with most insurers’ requirements and protecting your investment. Always confirm details with your agent or the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.

Prevent Stale Odors & Plumbing Issues

Unoccupied Florida homes often develop musty odors or pipe issues due to stagnant water. Our consistent checks flush toilets, run faucets, verify P-traps, and keep water systems fresh—ensuring your home smells clean and functions properly when you return.
