Picture this: you’re at work, on vacation, or just sleeping soundly when a pipe starts leaking behind your water heater. With a Moen leak detector, you get an instant alert on your phone. The system can even shut off your water automatically, preventing thousands in damage.
That’s the reality for homeowners who’ve made the smart choice. No more wondering if everything’s okay at home. No more coming back from trips to flooded floors or ruined belongings. Just reliable protection that works around the clock.
In California, where water damage makes up over half of all homeowner insurance claims, this isn’t luxury—it’s necessity. And in College/Glen’s established neighborhoods, where many homes were built decades ago, early detection can save you from costly surprises.
We’ve been protecting College/Glen homes for over two decades. We understand the unique challenges facing homeowners in our area—from aging infrastructure to California’s hard water conditions.
Our team holds Moen professional installer certification, meaning we know these systems inside and out. We’ve seen what water damage can do to families in our community, and we’ve helped hundreds prevent it with smart leak detection technology.
What sets us apart? We show up when we say we will, explain everything clearly, and often complete work for less than our initial estimate. That’s earned us a 4.7-star rating and the trust of neighbors throughout College/Glen and Sacramento.
First, we assess your home’s plumbing layout and determine the best location for your Moen smart water monitor. This typically goes on your main water line, where it can monitor your entire home’s water system.
Next, we handle the installation with precision. The Moen system requires cutting into your water line—work that demands professional expertise to ensure proper sealing, pressure, and functionality. We include all necessary fittings and components in our service.
Finally, we set up the Moen app on your phone and walk you through all features. You’ll learn how to read water usage patterns, set up custom alerts, and use the remote shutoff capability. We don’t leave until you’re completely comfortable with your new system and confident it’s protecting your home properly.

Your Moen leak detector installation includes the smart water monitor, all necessary hardware, professional setup, and complete app configuration. We also provide detailed instructions and ongoing support for any questions.
In College/Glen, where many homes sit on older plumbing systems, we often recommend pairing your leak detector with additional smart sensors for high-risk areas like water heaters, washing machines, and under-sink locations. These wireless sensors integrate with your main system for comprehensive protection.
We also handle any necessary permits and ensure your installation meets all local codes. Since Sacramento County has specific requirements for water line modifications, having licensed professionals handle the work protects both your home and your insurance coverage. Plus, many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with professionally installed leak detection systems.
Installation costs typically range from $600 to $1,200 depending on your home’s specific plumbing configuration and the Moen model you choose. The basic Flo Smart Water Monitor runs around $500-600, while systems with additional sensors and backup batteries cost more.
We provide transparent estimates upfront with no hidden fees. Many College/Glen homeowners find the investment pays for itself quickly—the average water damage claim in California exceeds $13,000, making prevention far more affordable than repair. We also offer flexible payment options and can discuss potential insurance discounts that may apply to your situation.
Most homes in College/Glen can accommodate Moen leak detectors, but professional assessment ensures proper compatibility. The system works with standard 1-inch to 1.25-inch water lines, which covers the majority of residential installations.
During our initial consultation, we examine your main water line, check pressure levels, and identify the optimal installation location. Some older homes may need minor modifications, but we handle everything as part of our service. We’ll never start work without confirming your system is fully compatible and explaining any necessary adjustments beforehand.
Most installations take 2-4 hours and can often be completed the same day you call. We keep Moen systems in stock and understand that water protection shouldn’t wait.
For College/Glen residents, we typically offer next-day installation for standard setups. More complex installations requiring additional sensors or special configurations might take slightly longer, but we’ll schedule everything at your convenience. Our team comes prepared with all necessary tools and materials, so there’s no waiting for parts or return visits unless you specifically request additional components.
When your Moen detector identifies a leak, you receive instant alerts through the smartphone app, text messages, and email. The system distinguishes between minor issues and major emergencies, giving you appropriate notification levels for each situation.
For significant leaks, the system can automatically shut off your main water supply, preventing extensive damage while you address the problem. You can also manually control the shutoff valve from anywhere using your phone—perfect for College/Glen residents who travel frequently or work long hours. The system continues monitoring even during power outages and will reconnect automatically when service returns.
Moen systems require minimal maintenance and charge no monthly monitoring fees. The app is completely free, and the device operates independently without subscription services.
Annual maintenance involves checking the device’s connection, testing the shutoff valve, and reviewing system performance—tasks we can handle during routine plumbing visits. The system’s battery backup lasts several years under normal use. We recommend having us inspect your installation annually as part of comprehensive home plumbing maintenance, especially important in College/Glen where seasonal temperature changes can affect plumbing performance.
Moen strongly recommends professional installation, and most College/Glen homeowners choose this route for good reason. The installation requires cutting into your main water line, understanding proper pressure settings, and ensuring code compliance—work that demands plumbing expertise.
DIY installation risks include improper sealing, pressure issues, voided warranties, and potential insurance complications if problems arise. As licensed professionals, we guarantee our work and ensure your system operates correctly from day one. The peace of mind from professional installation far outweighs any potential savings from attempting the work yourself, especially when protecting your home’s most valuable investment.
