Vacant Property Security Guard Near Me in Sacramento
Citrus Heights now mandates documented patrol on vacant commercial properties. Sacramento's not far behind. $15/visit is the cheapest way to comply — and to stop a $20k copper haul.
Vacant property is a magnet for copper theft, squatting, illegal dumping and code-enforcement complaints. Citrus Heights' 2026 vacant-commercial-property ordinance (#2026-001) explicitly requires documented security inspections, and Sacramento city is moving in the same direction.
Stormhammer Security patrols vacant residential and commercial properties throughout the Sacramento region — between tenants, during construction shutdown, post-foreclosure, pre-sale and during code-compliance disputes — with marked, GPS-tracked patrol from $15 per visit, photo-verified at every door, panel and access point.

Why vacant property patrol pays for itself overnight
A single copper-wire haul on a vacant Sacramento commercial property routinely runs $10k–$30k in replacement plus permit pulls plus weeks of delay. A documented nightly patrol at $15/visit ($450/month) prevents the entire chain. Most insurance carriers also require documented vacant-property security after the first 30–60 days of vacancy.

Door / window / panel integrity, electrical panel access, copper-bus visibility, HVAC roof unit visibility, squatter indicators (mattresses, bagged trash, candles, propane), illegal dumping, graffiti, and any code-enforcement-relevant condition. Photos and tour log emailed every morning.

Common questions
How often should a vacant Sacramento property be patrolled?+
Industry-typical: 2–4 documented visits per night for high-value commercial, 1–2 visits for vacant residential, plus a daytime exterior walk weekly. Adjust up around holidays and any time the property is under code-compliance review.
Do you remove squatters?+
No — squatter removal is a sworn-officer / sheriff function in California. We document presence (photos, dates, escalation history) so the property owner can pursue lawful removal through Sacramento Sheriff or the appropriate court.
Will your tour log satisfy the Citrus Heights vacant property ordinance?+
Yes — the electronic tour log is purpose-built to meet documented-inspection requirements under Citrus Heights Ordinance #2026-001 and similar Sacramento-area code-enforcement standards.
