Home Watch
A 46-point visit inside and out, against a written profile of your home, with a same-day report. From once a month to twice a week in freeze season.
Second homes and seasonal residences across the Gorge.
Request a free walkthroughWhat a visit includes
Every house gets a profile at the walkthrough: where the shutoffs are, what the thermostat should read, which cabinets open before a freeze. Every visit checks against it. These are the items owners ask about most.
Thermostat read and photographed, furnace cycling confirmed, water heater and shutoff checked, every faucet run and every toilet flushed.
Cabinet doors opened, hose bibs covered and exterior lines shut off, propane and pressure-tank readings logged. Full winterizing is coordinated with your plumber.
Readings, time-stamped photos, what we did, and anything that needs your decision, with a one-word reply so you can approve work by text.
Brought in and photographed. Flyers cleared from the door, because a stuffed door says "empty" to anyone walking by.
Plumber, propane, snow removal, the gutter crew. We let them in, confirm the scope, photograph before and after, and lock up when they're done. Two short visits, not a day on site.
Every visit filed to your property log. If a claim ever comes, you can show when the home was inspected, by whom, and what they found.
Plans
Cadence runs from monthly to twice weekly. We set it with you at the walkthrough, based on your policy's requirements and how long you're away, and we adjust it by season.
Year-round
Scheduled visits on the cadence your home needs, with the freeze protocol added automatically from November through March.
November through March
One seasonal plan for the months that break pipes. Converts to a Watch Plan in spring if you'd like to keep going.
Per task or per month, added to either plan.
Pricing follows the walkthrough rather than a rate card, because a 1,400-square-foot cabin and a 5,000-square-foot view home with a hot tub are not the same visit. You'll have a written quote before you commit to anything.
Gorge Keep is a scheduled inspection service, not a security or emergency response service. Visits happen on your schedule and within the response windows in your agreement, and you're told the same day when something needs your decision.
The report
About an hour at the house, no charge. You'll have a written quote before you decide anything.
