You’re not just buying a leak detector. You’re buying sleep-at-night peace of mind knowing your home is protected from water damage that averages $12,500 per claim in California.
Moen’s smart leak detection systems catch problems as small as a single drop per minute. That means no more coming home to flooded basements or discovering hidden leaks that have been causing damage for months. The system sends instant alerts to your phone, email, and can even call you directly when water is detected.
Your insurance company might even reward you with discounts for being proactive about water damage prevention. It’s protection that actually pays for itself while safeguarding your most valuable investment.
We’ve built a reputation in the Loomis area for showing up when we say we will and getting the job done right the first time. Our 4.7-star Google rating reflects what matters most to homeowners: reliability, fair pricing, and professional service.
We understand Loomis homes. From the older properties near downtown to newer developments, we’ve seen how California’s climate and aging infrastructure create unique water damage risks. That’s why we recommend Moen’s smart leak detection systems – they’re designed for real-world conditions and built to last.
Our licensed plumbers handle the complete installation process, ensuring your system is properly integrated with your home’s plumbing and Wi-Fi network for optimal performance.
The installation starts with a consultation to identify the most vulnerable areas of your home. We typically place detectors near water heaters, under sinks, around toilets, in basements, and near washing machines – anywhere water damage commonly occurs.
The main Flo Smart Water Monitor gets installed on your main water line, usually near where water enters your home. This device learns your family’s water usage patterns and can automatically shut off water if it detects a major leak or burst pipe.
Individual leak detectors go in strategic locations throughout your home. These battery-powered sensors are about 3.5 inches in size and include extension cables for hard-to-reach spaces. Once connected to your Wi-Fi network, the entire system communicates through the free Moen Smart Water app, giving you complete control and monitoring capabilities from anywhere.

Your Moen leak detection system includes features specifically designed for Loomis homeowners. The system runs daily microleak tests to catch problems before they become expensive disasters. It monitors water pressure, flow rates, and temperature – critical for our area where seasonal temperature changes can stress aging pipes.
The smart technology learns your household’s water patterns. It knows when someone’s taking a shower versus when there’s a pipe leak. This eliminates false alarms while ensuring real problems trigger immediate alerts. You’ll get notifications via app, text, email, or phone call – whatever works best for your lifestyle.
During Loomis’s dry seasons, the system helps identify outdoor irrigation leaks that waste water and drive up bills. In winter, it monitors for freezing conditions that could burst pipes. The system can reduce household water waste by up to 90%, often saving enough on monthly bills to offset the installation cost over time.
Installation costs vary based on the number of detectors and complexity of your home’s layout, but most Loomis homeowners invest between $1,500 and $3,500 for a complete system. This includes the main Flo Smart Water Monitor, multiple leak detectors, professional installation, and system setup.
Consider this against the average water damage claim in California, which ranges from $10,000 to $30,000. Many insurance companies also offer discounts for homes with smart leak detection systems, helping offset the initial investment. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect before we start work.
Moen’s smart leak detection systems are designed to work with virtually all residential plumbing configurations. The main water monitor accommodates pipe sizes from 3/4 inch to 1 inch, covering most Loomis homes built from the 1960s onward.
For older homes with unique plumbing configurations, we conduct a pre-installation assessment to ensure compatibility. The individual leak detectors are completely non-invasive – they simply sit in areas where water might collect and don’t require any modifications to existing pipes or fixtures. The system works with both traditional and tankless water heaters, and integrates seamlessly with modern smart home systems.
Moen’s leak detectors provide real-time alerts within seconds of detecting water where it shouldn’t be. The individual sensors trigger immediately when they contact moisture, sending notifications to your phone, email, and can even place a phone call to ensure you’re aware of the situation.
The main water monitor continuously analyzes your home’s water usage patterns and can detect leaks as small as one drop per minute through its daily testing cycles. For major events like burst pipes, the system can automatically shut off your home’s water supply to prevent catastrophic damage. Even if you’re traveling or your Wi-Fi goes down temporarily, the system continues operating and stores data locally until connectivity is restored.
Based on our experience with Loomis homes, we typically recommend detectors in several key locations. Water heaters are the most common source of leaks, especially in older homes where the units may be nearing replacement time. Under kitchen and bathroom sinks, near toilets, and around washing machines are also high-priority areas.
Basements and crawl spaces need monitoring since 98% of basements experience some water damage during their lifetime. For Loomis homes with irrigation systems, we often place detectors near outdoor spigots and in utility rooms where sprinkler controls are located. The exact placement depends on your home’s age, layout, and specific risk factors, which we assess during the initial consultation.
While the individual leak detectors can be placed by homeowners, Moen strongly recommends professional installation for the main water monitor system. This device requires cutting into your main water line and connecting to electrical power – work that requires a licensed plumber to ensure safety and proper function.
Professional installation also ensures the system is properly calibrated for your home’s specific water pressure and usage patterns. We handle the Wi-Fi setup, app configuration, and testing to make sure everything works correctly from day one. Improper installation can lead to system malfunctions, false alarms, or failure to detect actual leaks – risks that aren’t worth taking when protecting your home from water damage.
Moen’s smart leak detection systems are designed with backup capabilities for common disruptions. The main water monitor includes battery backup that provides up to 4 hours of continuous protection during power outages. Individual leak detectors run on long-lasting lithium batteries that typically last up to 2 years.
If your internet goes down, the system continues monitoring and stores data locally. Once connectivity is restored, it uploads the information and resumes full smart features. The system can operate in a basic protection mode even without Wi-Fi, though you’ll miss real-time alerts and remote monitoring capabilities. For extended outages, the system prioritizes core leak detection functions to keep your home protected when you need it most.
