Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs a home watch service?
Any part time resident of the Coachella Valley who leaves their home alone for any period of time and has asked themselves, “who will check my home when I am away” would be a perfect client for a home watch service. Besides our part-time residents, this also includes any full time Coachella Valley residents going away for the long hot summer months or going for an extended vacation or personal emergency, anytime during the year. This may also include any homeowner who leaves their homes unoccupied until their house is sold or a commercial property owner with several vacant properties who needs someone to check on them. Our service will cater to anyone who is worried about their property because it is vacant.
Why should you use a home watch service when you are away?
It is proven that an unoccupied home has a higher risk of vandalism, break-ins, failed HVAC, undetected water leaks, pest infestation, roof damage and unlawful home occupancy (squatters). While we cannot prevent issues from occurring in your home, Desert View Home Watch LLC's detailed inspections will reduce their impact by finding them early and preventing a small problem developing into a catastrophic issue. Our home watch service will give you peace of mind when you are not there.
Why not have a neighbor or family check on my home?
You may ask and trust a neighbor or family member to watch you home, however, they are not trained in professional home watch inspections and may not be looking for the signs of problems. They may not be able to visit your home on a regular basis and provide a detailed check list to you. In addition, if something happens to your home while they are on watch and it is not taken care of immediately, it can damage your relationships.

What Can Happen to Your Home When You Are Not There
When a home is left vacant, even for a short period, small issues can quickly turn major problems. The Coachella Valley's harsh desert environment only increases the risks — extreme heat, dust, monsoon storms, and constant strain on plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems all create conditions where things can go wrong fast.
Without regular, professional monitoring, problems may go unnoticed for weeks or months. What should be a relaxing return to your desert home can instead become a stressful experience filled with repairs, replacements, cleaning, and unexpected expenses.
Common issues that can develop while a home is vacant include:
-
Water leaks that cause interior damage or mold growth
-
Failed HVAC systems that lead to extreme indoor temperatures and further damage
-
Pest or rodent infestations that spread quickly if not caught early
-
Broken windows or roof leaks from storms or accidents
-
Poorly maintained landscaping or pools, which can deteriorate rapidly in desert conditions
-
Security risks, including vandalism, break‑ins, or unlawful occupancy (squatters)
