You’ll sleep better knowing your home is protected around the clock. No more surprise water bills from hidden leaks. No more rushing home from vacation because a pipe burst. No more dealing with insurance companies over water damage claims that average $9,633.
Your Moen leak detector learns your family’s water usage patterns and instantly alerts you to anything unusual. A toilet running too long. A pipe developing a pinhole leak. Even freezing conditions that could burst your pipes. The system catches problems early, before they become expensive disasters.
When something goes wrong, you get immediate smartphone alerts with the power to shut off your water remotely. If you don’t respond, the system can automatically stop the water flow to prevent catastrophic flooding.
We’ve been protecting Citrus Heights homes for over 24 years. We’re the local plumbers your neighbors trust for reliable service and fair pricing.
We understand Citrus Heights homes. From older properties in the original neighborhoods to newer developments, we’ve seen how water damage affects families in our community. That’s why we recommend Moen’s smart water monitoring technology – it’s the most reliable protection available.
Our team handles the complete installation process, from initial consultation to final testing. We’re licensed, insured, and available 24/7 for emergencies. As a family-owned business, we keep our overhead low and pass those savings to you.
We start with a consultation to assess your home’s water system and determine the best placement for your Moen leak detector. The device installs directly on your main water line, typically in your garage, basement, or utility area.
Installation takes just a few hours. We shut off your water, cut into the main line, and install the monitoring device with proper fittings. The system connects to your home’s Wi-Fi network and links to the Moen Smart Water app on your phone.
Once activated, the device immediately begins learning your household’s water usage patterns. Within a few days, it can distinguish between normal activities like showers and dishwashing versus potential leaks. You’ll receive detailed water usage reports and instant alerts for any unusual activity.

Your Moen leak detector includes everything needed for comprehensive water protection. The main monitoring device tracks water pressure, flow rate, and temperature throughout your home’s plumbing system. Smart leak detectors can be placed near water heaters, washing machines, and other potential problem areas.
In Citrus Heights, where many homes have older plumbing systems, this technology is especially valuable. The system detects pressure changes that indicate developing problems, temperature drops that could cause freezing, and flow patterns that suggest hidden leaks behind walls or under slabs.
The FloProtect plan adds extra security with extended warranty coverage and up to $5,000 in insurance deductible coverage. Battery backup keeps your system running during power outages, which are not uncommon in our area during winter storms.
Moen’s FloSense technology can detect leaks as small as one drop per minute anywhere in your home’s plumbing system. The device monitors water pressure and flow continuously, learning your household’s normal usage patterns over the first few days.
This learning process allows the system to distinguish between legitimate water use and potential problems. It recognizes the difference between someone taking a shower and a toilet that’s running continuously. The technology is sophisticated enough to detect pressure changes that indicate a developing leak, even before water starts flowing.
False alarms are rare because the system considers multiple factors before triggering an alert. It analyzes flow rate, duration, time of day, and historical usage patterns to determine if water use is normal for your household.
The basic Moen system requires AC power to operate, but battery backup options are available for continuous protection during outages. The battery backup provides up to 4 hours of full operation, which covers most power interruptions in Citrus Heights.
Even without power, the system’s mechanical shutoff valve can still be operated manually if needed. The device stores your home’s learned usage patterns locally, so it doesn’t lose its settings when power is restored.
For homes that experience frequent power outages, we recommend the Ultimate Bundle that includes battery backup as standard equipment. This ensures your water monitoring never stops, even during extended outages that sometimes occur during winter storms in our area.
Yes, the Moen Smart Water app gives you complete control from anywhere with internet access. You can monitor your home’s water usage in real-time, receive instant alerts about potential problems, and shut off your water supply remotely if needed.
The app shows detailed usage reports, helping you understand your household’s water consumption patterns. You can see when water is being used, how much, and where it’s flowing in your home. This information is especially valuable when you’re away and want to ensure everything is normal.
If the system detects a problem while you’re traveling, you receive immediate notifications through the app, email, and text messages. You can then assess the situation and shut off the water remotely to prevent damage, or contact us for emergency service if needed.
When your Moen system detects unusual water activity, it immediately sends alerts to your smartphone, email, and can even call you directly. The alert includes specific information about what triggered the detection – high flow rate, unusual duration, or pressure changes.
You have the option to dismiss the alert if it’s a false alarm, or take immediate action by shutting off your water remotely through the app. If you don’t respond within a set time period, the system can be programmed to automatically shut off your water to prevent damage.
The system differentiates between minor issues that need attention and major problems requiring immediate action. A small leak might generate a notification for you to investigate, while a burst pipe would trigger an automatic shutoff to prevent flooding. This smart response prevents both water waste and property damage.
Installation costs vary depending on your home’s plumbing configuration and which Moen system you choose. We provide free estimates that include a complete assessment of your water system and recommendations for optimal placement.
The investment typically pays for itself quickly through prevented water damage and reduced water bills from catching leaks early. Consider that the average water damage claim costs $9,633, and many insurance policies don’t cover gradual damage from undetected leaks.
We offer competitive pricing and a 15% discount for new customers. We also help you understand available rebates and insurance discounts that many providers offer for smart water monitoring systems. The peace of mind and protection you gain make this one of the best investments you can make in your home.
Many insurance providers in California recognize the value of smart water monitoring and offer discounts on homeowners policies for homes with these systems. The exact discount varies by company, but typically ranges from 5-10% off your annual premium.
Some insurers also offer enhanced coverage or reduced deductibles for water damage claims when you have a monitoring system installed. The Moen FloProtect plan includes up to $5,000 in insurance deductible coverage, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs if damage does occur.
Contact your insurance agent to ask about available discounts and coverage enhancements. Many homeowners find that the insurance savings, combined with prevented damage and reduced water bills, make the system pay for itself within a few years. We can provide documentation of your installation for insurance purposes.
