Who checks your Elba second home when you're away
A home closed for months: the doubts that remain
Owners of a second home on Elba often leave it empty for months. And with the house closed, doubts linger: did a sea storm let water in? Is there a silent leak under a sink? Is humidity already working behind a piece of furniture? Did the shutters hold against the wind? Has anyone entered?
These questions can't be solved from a distance. They need eyes on the ground, on a regular rhythm and with a method.
What home watching is (and what it isn't)
Home watching is the periodic check of a closed home: scheduled visits, with checklists and photo/video reports, to catch problems before they become damage. It is not armed security, it is not cleaning, it is not rental management. It is the stewardship of the home when the owner is away.
What gets checked on each visit
Each visit follows a structured checklist. The main points:
- ✓General condition: walls, ceilings, floors, fixtures, signs of humidity or mold
- ✓Plumbing: taps, drains, visible leaks, boiler, pressure
- ✓Electrical: panel, outlets, lights, general function
- ✓Security: doors, windows, shutters, signs of intrusion
- ✓Exteriors: terrace, garden, pool, vegetation, access points
What you receive after each check
After every visit you receive a report with date, photos and notes on what was verified. If anything needs attention — a leak, a damaged fixture, a humidity mark — we notify you promptly, with documentation and a proposed intervention to approve before we proceed.
How much it costs
The service is organized in annual plans with increasing visit frequency. You'll find all the details, prices and what is included on the dedicated page.
