FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS   Fact: Sewer gases and the American Cockroach enter homes when the water in  drain line “S” and “P” traps evaporate.  Fact:  Infrequent use of dishwashers causes the rubber seals to crack or deteriorate.  Fact: Crime is up and the thieves are using new and simple tactics to determine if  a home is vacant for long or short periods of time.  Fact:  Most homeowners do not do this, but all of your electronic equipment  should be documented by writing down the serial numbers and photos should be  taken of all of your valuable personal assets. Photos and serial numbers should be  in a different location other then your home.  Question:  How does El Dorado Homewatch report vandalism or theft to  property? The local Police Department is called and an officer will be dispatched  to your residence. Once the officer has collected all information and the Forensic  Team,  (if applicable) has completed, we will take our own photos for your records.  We will call you and mail you the photo’s and police report number. At that time,  we will notify your insurance company.  Question: Does El Dorado solicit or advertise while inspecting my home? NO,  The visits to your home are discreet; there are no logo’s on vehicles to advertise  that the homeowner is away and using a Homewatch service.  Question: Why do you put oil in the garbage disposal? It’s not actually oil, but  a quick squirt of Pam Cooking Spray to keep the blades from rusting together. We  also grind half of a lemon in the disposal once a month to keep it smelling fresh.  Question:  I prefer the four visits per month option. Is it always the same time  and day of the week? No, a schedule is generated and a rotation in days will  apply for your neighborhood. The more homes that are under contract with El  Dorado Homewatch, L.L.C., in the same neighborhood, will guarantee that your  home will get a drive by inspection on your “non visit” day.
