You get 24/7 monitoring that sends instant alerts to your phone when water is detected anywhere in your home. The system automatically shuts off your water supply before a small leak becomes a $10,000 disaster.
Most Carmichael homeowners discover leaks they never knew existed within the first 30 days. That’s because these systems catch problems that go undetected for months or even years, preventing the gradual damage that insurance companies won’t cover.
Your water bills drop too. The average household wastes nearly 10,000 gallons annually from undetected leaks, and these systems can reduce your water waste by up to 90%.
We’ve been installing water leak detection systems throughout Carmichael, CA and the greater Sacramento area for over two decades. We understand California’s aging home infrastructure and the unique challenges homeowners face with rising insurance costs and drought concerns.
Our 5-star reputation comes from transparent pricing and professional installations that actually work when you need them most. We’re BBB accredited and available 24/7 for emergency plumbing situations.
When you’re dealing with something as critical as protecting your home from water damage, you want plumbers who show up on time, explain what we’re doing, and stand behind our work.
We start with a free estimate and assessment of your home’s plumbing system. Our licensed plumbers identify the best locations for leak detectors and determine the optimal setup for your specific property.
The main Flo Smart Water Monitor gets installed on your home’s main water line, typically near your water meter. This requires cutting into the pipe and installing the device in-line, which is why professional installation is essential. We also place Smart Leak Detectors in high-risk areas like your laundry room, bathrooms, and kitchen.
Once everything’s connected to your Wi-Fi network, we test the entire system and walk you through the smartphone app. You’ll know exactly how to monitor your water usage, receive alerts, and even shut off your water remotely if needed. The whole process typically takes 3-4 hours, and you’re protected immediately.

Your Moen leak detection system includes the main water monitor with automatic shutoff capability, multiple wireless leak detectors for placement throughout your home, and extension cables to reach tight spaces behind appliances. The system connects to a free smartphone app with no monthly fees or subscriptions.
Carmichael, CA homeowners particularly benefit from these systems because of our area’s older housing stock and seasonal water usage patterns. Nearly 50% of California homes are over 50 years old, and aging pipes start developing problems well before the half-century mark.
The system learns your family’s water usage patterns and runs daily micro-leak tests to catch problems early. It can detect leaks as small as one drop per minute and differentiate between normal usage and potential problems. Many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with professionally installed leak detection systems, and some local water districts provide rebates that can cover installation costs.
Installation costs vary depending on your home’s plumbing configuration and how many leak detectors you need, but most Carmichael homeowners invest between $800-1,200 for a complete system. This includes the main water monitor, multiple leak detectors, professional installation, and system setup.
Many insurance companies offer discounts that can offset this cost over time, and some local water districts provide rebates for leak detection systems. When you consider that the average water damage claim costs over $9,600, the investment pays for itself by preventing just one incident.
We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Yes, the Flo Smart Water Monitor continues protecting your home even without Wi-Fi connectivity. The device stores your home’s water usage patterns locally, so it can still detect abnormal flows and shut off water automatically if needed.
You won’t receive smartphone alerts during Wi-Fi outages, but the core protection remains active. This is crucial because many water emergencies happen when you’re not home or during power outages when you need protection most.
Once your internet connection returns, the system automatically reconnects and resumes full functionality including remote monitoring and alerts.
The Smart Leak Detectors can be placed by homeowners, but the main Flo Water Monitor requires professional installation. This device gets installed directly on your main water line, which involves cutting pipes and ensuring proper sealing and pressure.
Moen specifically recommends professional installation because improper installation can cause leaks, water pressure issues, or system failures. Our licensed plumbers have the tools and experience to install the system correctly the first time.
We also handle all the technical setup, Wi-Fi configuration, and testing to ensure everything works properly. You get full training on using the system, plus ongoing support if you have questions.
The Flo Smart Water Monitor continuously analyzes your water flow and can detect irregularities within seconds. For catastrophic failures like burst pipes, the system can shut off water automatically within moments of detection, potentially saving thousands in damage.
For smaller leaks, the system runs daily micro-leak tests and learns your usage patterns over time. It can identify leaks as small as one drop per minute, though it may take a few days to distinguish between actual leaks and normal usage variations.
The Smart Leak Detectors placed around your home detect moisture immediately when water touches them, sending instant alerts to your phone. This combination gives you both immediate protection from major failures and early warning for developing problems.
Many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with professionally installed water leak detection systems, though specific discounts vary by carrier and location. Some Carmichael homeowners see reductions of 5-10% on their water damage coverage.
More importantly, these systems help you avoid claims altogether. Water damage is the most common homeowners insurance claim in California, and gradual leaks often aren’t covered at all. By catching problems early, you prevent the kind of extensive damage that leads to claim denials or policy cancellations.
Contact your insurance agent to ask about available discounts for leak detection systems. Many carriers recognize that proactive homeowners with monitoring systems file fewer claims and cause less risk overall.
Modern Moen leak detection systems are designed to minimize false alarms through smart learning algorithms that understand your home’s normal water usage patterns. The system takes time to learn your routine, so you might get a few alerts in the first week as it calibrates.
You can adjust sensitivity settings through the smartphone app, and the system allows you to set different parameters for different situations. For example, you can tell it when you’re doing laundry or filling a pool so it doesn’t interpret high water usage as a leak.
If you do get false alarms, we can help adjust the system settings or relocate sensors that might be triggering unnecessarily. The goal is reliable protection without constant nuisance alerts that make you want to ignore the system.
