You get real peace of mind knowing your home is monitored every minute of every day. No more worrying about burst pipes while you’re at work or vacation disasters that flood your house. The Moen smart leak detection system learns your water usage patterns and catches problems before they become catastrophes.
California homeowners face unique challenges. Water damage accounts for over half of all insurance claims in the state, and many insurers now require leak detection systems. You’re not just buying a device—you’re investing in protection that could save you thousands in repairs and keep your family in their home instead of a hotel.
When a leak happens, every second counts. The system automatically shuts off your water supply the moment it detects abnormal flow, preventing the kind of damage that takes months to repair and costs more than most people’s cars.
We’ve been protecting Northern California homes since the early 1900s. We’ve seen every type of plumbing disaster you can imagine, which is exactly why we recommend Moen leak detectors to every homeowner we serve.
Our team understands Regency Park’s unique challenges. The area’s mix of older homes and newer construction creates specific vulnerabilities that standard leak detection can miss. We’ve installed hundreds of these systems throughout the Sacramento region, and our customers consistently tell us it’s the best investment they’ve made in their home’s protection.
We’re not just installers—we’re your neighbors. When you call Murray Plumbing, you’re working with licensed professionals who live and work in this community. Our 4.7-star Google rating comes from real customers who’ve trusted us with their most important investment.
First, we assess your home’s plumbing system and determine the best location for your Moen leak detector—typically where your main water line enters the house. This isn’t guesswork. Our technicians have installed these systems in hundreds of homes and know exactly where to place them for maximum effectiveness.
Next, we handle the installation. This involves cutting into your main water line and installing the smart shutoff valve inline with your plumbing. It sounds complicated, but our licensed plumbers make it look easy. The device connects to your home’s Wi-Fi and links to the Moen app on your phone.
Finally, we test everything and show you how to use the system. You’ll get alerts on your phone, email, and even phone calls if a leak is detected. The system runs daily health checks on your plumbing and learns your family’s water usage patterns. Most customers discover leaks they never knew existed within the first month.

Your Moen leak detection system does more than just find leaks. It monitors your entire home’s water usage, tracks pressure changes, and can reduce your water bill by up to 90% by catching waste you never knew existed. The system detects leaks as small as a single drop per minute—problems that would take months or years to notice otherwise.
In Regency Park and throughout California, these systems are becoming essential for insurance compliance. Many carriers now require automatic shutoff valves, especially for homes with higher values or older plumbing. Installing a Moen system can qualify you for insurance discounts and may even be required to maintain coverage.
The technology is remarkably sophisticated. Your system learns when you typically shower, run the dishwasher, or water the lawn. When something doesn’t match your normal patterns—like water running at 3 AM when everyone’s asleep—you get an immediate alert. The system can even detect seasonal changes and adjust accordingly, so you won’t get false alarms when your irrigation schedule changes.
Installation costs vary based on your home’s specific plumbing configuration, but most homeowners invest between $1,200 and $2,000 for a complete Moen smart leak detection system. This includes the device, professional installation, and system setup. Many insurance companies offer rebates or discounts that can offset a significant portion of this cost.
Keep in mind that this investment often pays for itself quickly. The average water damage claim in California costs over $11,000 to repair, not including the disruption to your family’s life. We’ve seen customers discover hidden leaks within days of installation that would have caused thousands in damage if left unchecked.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. During our initial consultation, we’ll assess your home and give you an exact quote. Many customers are surprised to learn their insurance company will help cover the cost, especially given California’s new requirements for leak detection systems.
Yes, Moen leak detectors work with virtually all residential plumbing systems. The device installs inline with your main water supply, regardless of whether you have copper, PEX, or other pipe materials. We’re experienced with every type of plumbing configuration common in Regency Park homes.
The system works with pipe diameters up to 1 inch, which covers the vast majority of residential applications. If your home has a larger main line, we have solutions for that too. The device doesn’t interfere with your water pressure or flow—you won’t notice any difference in your daily water use.
During our consultation, we’ll examine your specific setup and confirm compatibility. In our 20+ years of installing these systems, we’ve only encountered a handful of homes where installation wasn’t possible, and those were due to very unusual circumstances. Most installations take just a few hours and don’t require any changes to your existing plumbing beyond the valve installation.
When your Moen system detects a leak, several things happen simultaneously to protect your home. First, you receive immediate notifications through the smartphone app, text messages, email, and phone calls. The system doesn’t just send one alert—it keeps notifying you until you acknowledge the problem.
If the leak is significant enough to trigger the automatic shutoff, the valve closes within seconds to stop water flow to your entire house. You’ll get a notification explaining exactly what happened and can override the shutoff through your phone if it’s a false alarm. The system is smart enough to distinguish between normal usage spikes and actual problems.
For smaller leaks that don’t trigger automatic shutoff, you still get detailed information about where the problem might be located and how severe it is. The system’s daily health checks can detect issues like running toilets, dripping faucets, or slow leaks that might otherwise go unnoticed for months. This early detection is often what saves homeowners thousands in repair costs.
Absolutely. Moen strongly recommends professional installation, and for good reason. Installing the system requires cutting into your main water line, which is not a DIY project. One mistake can leave you without water or cause flooding in your home. Our licensed plumbers have the tools, experience, and insurance coverage to handle this work safely.
Professional installation also ensures your system works correctly from day one. We properly calibrate the device, connect it to your Wi-Fi network, and test all the notification systems. Many homeowners who attempt self-installation end up calling us anyway when they can’t get the system to work properly.
Additionally, professional installation may be required for insurance compliance and warranty coverage. Some insurance companies specifically require installation by licensed plumbers to qualify for discounts or rebates. We provide all the documentation you need to submit to your insurance company, including photos of the completed installation and certification of proper setup.
Most Moen leak detector installations take 2-4 hours, depending on your home’s plumbing configuration and the accessibility of your main water line. We typically schedule half-day appointments to ensure we have plenty of time to complete the work without rushing.
The actual device installation is usually the quickest part. Most of our time is spent ensuring everything is properly calibrated and connected to your home’s Wi-Fi network. We also walk you through the smartphone app and test all the notification systems to make sure you’ll receive alerts properly.
We always plan for potential complications. Sometimes we discover issues with existing shutoff valves or need to make minor adjustments to accommodate the new device. Our technicians come prepared with everything needed to handle these situations, so you won’t face delays or additional service calls. By the end of our visit, your system will be fully operational and protecting your home.
Many California insurance companies now offer discounts for homes with automatic water shutoff systems, and some are beginning to require them outright. The discount amount varies by carrier, but we’ve seen customers save 5-15% on their homeowners premiums after installation.
Mercury Insurance, for example, covers up to $400 toward the cost of a Moen system and offers a 10% policy discount. Other major carriers have similar programs, though the specifics change frequently. We stay current on these programs and can help you understand what benefits your specific insurance company offers.
Beyond direct premium savings, having a leak detection system can prevent claims that would otherwise increase your rates. Insurance companies view these systems as proactive risk reduction, which they reward with better rates and continued coverage. In today’s challenging insurance market, anything that reduces your claim risk makes you a more attractive customer to insurers.
