Avoiding mold growth
Surfacing mold risk in single-family rental home

Dwellwell diagnosed and notified our REIT customer about growing mold conditions in one of their homes, enabling the problem to be addressed early.
Repair cost with Dwellwell: $250
Damages, without Dwellwell: $8,000-$10,000 for mold remediation

Detecting ‘squatters’
Know when unauthorized occupants are present
A squatter in a single-family rental property can create a costly, prolonged, legal nightmare. But our customers know when a home is occupied. And we maintain privacy because we don’t use speech recognition or video. Short-term rental customers love this feature to ensure timely guest check-out and to verify when contractors arrive and depart.
