An empty property is a target. Without consistent, visible security measures, you risk vandalism, theft, squatting, and rapid deterioration. Rowlett Property Care’s Secure Vacant Property Service is a comprehensive, multi-layered protection plan that goes far beyond a simple lock check. We combine physical security, regular inspections, and proactive maintenance to create a robust defense for your unoccupied asset.

Our program is designed to deter criminal activity, maintain insurance compliance, and preserve property condition, giving homeowners, banks, and property managers complete confidence while a unit or home is vacant.

Ideal For:

Bank-Owned (REO) & Foreclosure Properties

Long-Term Vacant Homes & Estates

Rental Properties undergoing extended renovations or between tenants

Seasonal & Secondary Homes

Properties Listed For Sale that are currently unoccupied

Our Multi-Layered Security & Preservation Protocol

We implement a defense-in-depth strategy, addressing security from the perimeter to the interior with regular, scheduled oversight.

Tier 1: Physical Security Fortification

Lock & Entry Point Reinforcement: Installation of high-security deadbolts, door reinforcements, and window locks. We can provide and install durable lockboxes for authorized access.

Vulnerability Assessment: Identification and securing of secondary entry points like basement windows, garage service doors, and pet doors.

Boarding & Securement: Professional installation of clear or opaque security boarding on windows and doors that appears maintained, not abandoned, to deter break-ins while keeping the property visually managed.

Tier 2: Active Deterrence & Monitoring

Lighting Automation: Installation and programming of motion-sensor lights (exterior) and plug-in timer systems (interior) to simulate occupancy.

Visibility Management: Regular removal of flyers, newspapers, and debris from yards and porches—key indicators of vacancy.

Lawn & Exterior Maintenance: Integration of basic lawn mowing, snow removal, and seasonal upkeep to present a cared-for appearance. (Can be bundled with this service).

Tier 3: Interior Preservation & Systems Management

Utility & Systems Management: Strategic management of utilities—maintaining power for lights/freezers, setting the HVAC on a minimal "anti-freeze" setting (55°F), and ensuring water is either on and monitored or properly winterized.

Moisture & Mold Prevention: Regular checks for leaks, humidity, and signs of mold, with immediate mitigation actions.

Pest Deterrence: Inspection for and addressing signs of rodent or insect infestation.
