Home Watch in Solana Beach

Solana Beach packs a lot of coastline into a small city. Homes and condominiums line the bluffs above the beach, with neighborhoods like Lomas Santa Fe stretching inland toward Rancho Santa Fe. It is a popular place for second homes and seasonal residents, which means a good share of houses here spend weeks or months with nobody inside.

The bluffs are part of why people buy here, and part of why water management on a coastal lot is worth watching. Irrigation that runs too long or a drain that is not carrying water away is the kind of thing a resident would notice and an absent owner would not. On a visit, irrigation, drainage and any visible standing water are part of the exterior walk.

Salt air is constant along this stretch of coast. Balcony rails, sliding door tracks, exterior lights and gate hardware all wear faster here than inland. Noticing early corrosion, a sticking slider or a light that has stopped working is the everyday work of a home watch visit.

Condos and townhomes have their own version of the problem. A slow leak from an upstairs unit, or from your own unit into a neighbor's, can go a long time unnoticed when an owner is away. Regular interior checks for visible moisture, and running the water to keep fixtures in use, are a simple way to catch it early.
