1010 Home Check Service
Your home, cared for while you’re away.
When you’re away from your home for an extended period, it’s natural to worry about safety, security, or unexpected issues. That’s why 1010 Properties Inc. created Home Check — a trusted service designed to give you complete peace of mind while also helping you meet common insurance requirements in Alberta and British Columbia.
Why Home Check Matters for Insurance
Did you know your home insurance may not fully protect you if your house is left unattended?
Alberta: If you’re away for more than 4 consecutive days during winter, many insurers require someone to check your property to keep coverage intact. After 30 days, your home may be considered vacant, and you’ll likely need a vacancy permit or endorsement to maintain coverage.
British Columbia: Homes left unoccupied for over 30 days can lose standard coverage unless you add a vacation/unoccupied endorsement or switch to vacant home insurance. Seasonal properties and snowbird homes face additional requirements.
1010 Home Check helps protect not just your home, but also your insurance coverage. By providing regular, documented inspections, we make it easier for you to comply with your policy’s conditions and safeguard your protection.
