After a home is burgled, not only are homeowners worried about the valuables they have lost but also the lack of comfort and complete invasion of privacy they feel for months – sometimes for years – afterwards.
The best way to deal with a home burglary is to prevent it from happening, but how can you do that?
Well, a home security audit is the way to go.
If you want to know about a home security audit, and the benefits of investing in one, this guide is for you.
What is a home security audit?
A home security audit, also referred to as a home safety evaluation, is a complete assessment of your home by trained professionals who take into consideration hazards that could cause personal injury, flood your home or make it easy for an intruder to enter.
It’s a great tool to identify and take preventative measures to keep you and your family safe, giving you some peace of mind about the safety of your home.
What are the benefits of a home security audit?
Security assessment
A home security audit allows skilled security professionals to recognise what additional measures your home needs.
Based on these needs, they will recommend video camera surveillance, alarm systems, outdoor lighting, and other measures tailored to your home.
Minimise the risk of losing valuables
Unfortunately, a home invasion leads to loss or significant damage to your household and personal items.
Although losing items with monetary value is a huge loss, those with sentimental value are irreplaceable, and a home security audit reduces the chances of that happening to you.
Protection for you and your family
There have been many incidents where thefts have gone horribly wrong, resulting in deaths, injuries, and, of course, the mental strain on the entire family.
In addition to not putting yourself and your family at risk, the proper home security systems will act as a deterrent for any criminals who planned on entering your home as the risk of getting caught is greater.
Reduces insurance payments
You’ll be pleased to know that homes that have regular home security audits are able to get cheaper home insurance.
Since the risk of a home invasion decreases, the chances of filing insurance claims reduce with it, making insurance companies very happy.

Crime prevention
Although no home security system can guarantee that your property is safe, it reduces the risk of home invasion immensely as video cameras and alarms deter criminals from targeting your homes.
Should any home invasions or criminal acts take place, the perpetrator will be caught on camera for evidence.
If you want to start taking proactive steps to keep yourself, your loved ones, and all your possessions safe, you’re ready to schedule a home security audit.
