  • Interior Temperature & HVAC: We verify your heating system is actively running to prevent catastrophic freeze-ups.
  • Plumbing & Sump Pumps: We flush toilets, run faucets to keep traps wet, and check sump pumps to prevent basement flooding.
  • Pest & Rodent Checks: Winter drives mice and pests indoors. We check common entry points to catch infestations early.
  • Mail, Flyer, & Snow Track Maintenance: We make sure your home looks lived-in by checking for pile-ups, ensuring your driveway looks maintained, and hiding signs of vacancy.

Protect Your Home in Your Absence

A vacant home does not maintain itself. Without regular monitoring, small issues can go unnoticed long enough to cause damage. Snowbird Home Watch by While Away offers specialized property monitoring in the Sioux Falls area to mitigate risks like frozen pipes and pest infestations during winter absences.

Built for Long-Term Absence

Snowbird home watch services are structured for:

  • Months-long absence
  • Ongoing environmental exposure
  • Consistent monitoring over time

What This Means For You

  • Sub-zero Defense: Regular thermostat and furnace verifications when South Dakota winter temperatures plummet.
  • Frozen Pipe Prevention: Checking basement lines, crawlspaces, and water meters where freezes start.
  • Ice Dam & Snow Load Alerts: Visually inspecting your roofline and gutters after heavy blizzards to prevent roof leaks.

We strongly recommend weekly or bi-weekly visits. During Sioux Falls winters, a furnace failure can freeze and burst pipes in less than 24 hours. Regular checks are your primary line of defense.

This business is operated by a husband and wife team.  Mike is the one that will be doing the inspections, but you must know that every great man has an even greater wife close by.

We can help you decide based on your home’s layout. If you shut it off, we still check traps and water heaters. If you leave it on, we actively monitor all fixtures for pressure drops or leaks.

Our normal hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. That being said our phone is always on and we respond to emergencies at any time outside of normal work hours.  Additional charges may apply in these situations.

We perform priority storm-damage check-ins as soon as the roads are clear to check for power outages, roof damage, or blocked furnace vents.

We service a 15 mile radius around Sioux Falls at our standard rate. We are happy to go beyond 15 miles although we would charge an additional hourly rate for travel.
