You get real peace of mind knowing your Lake Tahoe investment is protected. No more wondering if a pipe burst while you’re away or if that slow drip under the sink turned into a flood.
Smart leak detectors catch problems when they’re still small and fixable. You get instant alerts on your phone the moment moisture is detected anywhere in your home.
Your insurance stays intact, your property value stays protected, and you sleep better knowing your home is monitored even when you’re not there.
We bring over 100 years of plumbing expertise to Lake Tahoe area homes. We understand the unique challenges mountain properties face – from seasonal temperature swings to the specific construction styles found around Carnelian Bay.
Our team knows how moisture behaves at altitude and what it takes to properly protect homes in this environment. We’ve built our reputation on transparent pricing, professional service, and showing up when we say we will.
Lake Tahoe homeowners trust us because we do what we promise, charge what we quote, and treat your property like our own.
First, we assess your home to identify the most vulnerable areas – typically near water heaters, under sinks, around appliances, and in basements or crawl spaces. These are the spots where small leaks can cause big problems.
Next, we strategically place the compact 3.5-inch detectors in key locations. Each detector monitors moisture, temperature, and humidity levels continuously. The installation is clean and non-invasive.
Finally, we connect your system to the Moen Smart Water App on your phone. You’ll get instant notifications if any detector senses water, extreme temperatures, or high humidity. The detectors also sound local alarms and flash LED lights, so you’re covered even when your phone isn’t nearby.

Your Moen leak detection system includes professional installation, smartphone app setup, and comprehensive coverage for your entire home. Each detector runs on a long-lasting lithium battery that provides over three years of continuous monitoring.
In Carnelian Bay, seasonal challenges like snowmelt and temperature fluctuations make early leak detection especially critical. Properties here face unique risks from frozen pipes in winter and rapid thaw conditions in spring.
Our installation covers all the vulnerable spots specific to Lake Tahoe homes – from basement areas prone to snowmelt infiltration to attic spaces where frozen pipes commonly burst. You get a complete protection system designed for mountain living.
Moen smart leak detectors provide instant alerts the moment they sense moisture. You’ll receive notifications through the smartphone app, text messages, phone calls, or email – whatever you prefer.
The detectors also sound an immediate local alarm and flash LED lights, so anyone in the home knows there’s a problem right away. This instant response is crucial for preventing small leaks from becoming major water damage.
In Lake Tahoe properties where you might not be present year-round, these immediate remote alerts can save you thousands in potential damage and insurance complications.
Yes, Moen leak detectors work as standalone units that don’t require any changes to your existing plumbing. They’re wireless sensors that simply need to be placed in areas where you want leak protection.
For even more comprehensive protection, they can integrate with the Moen Smart Water Shutoff system, which automatically turns off your main water supply if a major leak is detected. But the detectors function perfectly on their own.
This flexibility makes them ideal for Lake Tahoe properties with varying plumbing configurations and ages. Whether your home was built decades ago or recently constructed, the detectors adapt to your specific setup.
The most critical areas are near your water heater, under kitchen and bathroom sinks, around washing machines and dishwashers, and in basements or crawl spaces. These spots see the most water activity and potential failure points.
In Lake Tahoe homes, we also recommend coverage in attic areas where pipes might freeze, near furnaces and HVAC systems, and around any plumbing that runs through unheated spaces. Seasonal temperature swings make these areas especially vulnerable.
During our assessment, we’ll identify the specific risk areas in your home based on its layout, age, and the local climate challenges your property faces.
Each Moen leak detector comes with a CR123A lithium battery that provides over three years of continuous monitoring. The app will notify you well before the battery needs replacement, so you’re never caught off guard.
The long battery life means minimal maintenance for your peace of mind. You’re not dealing with frequent battery changes or worrying about dead detectors when you need them most.
This extended battery life is especially valuable for vacation homes or properties you don’t visit regularly. You can trust that your leak detection system is working even when you’re away for extended periods.
While we can’t guarantee specific insurance benefits, many insurers view proactive water damage prevention systems favorably. Having leak detection installed demonstrates that you’re taking steps to protect your property.
In the Lake Tahoe area, where insurance can be challenging and water damage claims are costly, early leak detection helps you avoid the claims process altogether by catching problems before they become major damage.
Some insurance companies offer discounts for homes with water monitoring systems. We recommend checking with your insurer about potential benefits when you have professional leak detection installed.
You’ll receive immediate alerts through your smartphone app, text, phone call, or email – whatever notification methods you’ve set up. This lets you respond quickly even when you’re not physically at the property.
If you have the Moen Smart Water Shutoff system installed, it can automatically turn off your main water supply to prevent further damage. Without the shutoff system, you’ll need to arrange for someone to check the property or shut off water manually.
Many of our Lake Tahoe clients set up trusted local contacts who can respond to alerts when they’re away. We can help you create an emergency response plan that works for your specific situation and property access needs.
