What AwayCheck does

The house is empty, the pipes are full, and your insurance policy has a clause most owners never read: if nobody checks the home regularly while you are away during the heating season, water damage may not be covered. Canadian insurers commonly void or limit coverage on homes left empty more than a few consecutive days, and Florida and Arizona seasonal homes carry similar expectations. Yet the actual record of those checks — the thing an adjuster asks for after a February pipe burst — is usually a text thread that says all good. AwayCheck turns whoever holds your key into a documented home checker. Your brother-in-law, neighbor, or friend opens the app, follows a guided walk-through — furnace running, thermostat reading, pipes and ceilings dry, sump pump working, windows and doors secure — and every visit is stamped with the date, time, and photos. No account, no cloud, no learning curve: the visit takes the same five minutes it always did, but now it exists on the record. The interval clock keeps the schedule honest. Enter the check frequency your own policy requires — every insurer words it differently, so the interval is yours to set — and AwayCheck counts down to the next required visit, reminds the checker before the window closes, and shows at a glance how the season is going. When spring comes, or when a claim happens, export the entire season as a clean, dated proof-of-checks report: every visit, every checklist result, every photo, in chronological order. It is the same artifact home-watch companies charge hundreds per season to produce, generated from the checks your own people were already doing for free. AwayCheck works for any absence, not just winter: vacations, work postings, a listed or inherited property sitting empty, a cottage in the off-season. And everything stays on the device — your address, your policy details, and your photos never touch a server. • Guided walk-through checklist covering furnace, thermostat, pipes, sump, and security • Every visit stamped with date, time, duration, and photos • Check-interval clock with reminders matched to your policy wording • Season-long, dated proof-of-checks report ready for an adjuster • Departure and winterization checklists before you leave • Multiple properties for the neighbor who checks the whole street • Fully offline, no account, private by design
