Hear from Our Customers
You know that sinking feeling when you discover water damage that’s been happening for weeks. The warped floors, the musty smell, the insurance calls, the contractors tramping through your house for months.
Moen leak detectors change that story completely. Instead of finding damage after it’s done, you get an instant alert on your phone the moment water appears where it shouldn’t be. Your basement stays dry. Your hardwood floors stay intact. Your peace of mind stays put.
These aren’t just sensors sitting in corners hoping for the best. They’re monitoring humidity, temperature, and moisture levels around the clock, sending real-time notifications straight to your smartphone when anything changes.
We’ve been serving Courtland and Sacramento County for years, building a reputation that speaks for itself. Murray Plumbing maintains a 4.7-star Google rating with over 93 reviews, and there’s a reason customers keep calling back.
We show up when we say we will. We explain what we’re doing before we do it. And we price everything upfront, with many customers reporting final costs came in under our original estimate.
Our team understands Courtland’s unique challenges, from seasonal weather patterns to local water quality issues. We know which basements flood during heavy rains and which older homes need extra attention during installation.
First, we walk through your home to identify the most vulnerable spots. Basements, laundry rooms, near water heaters, around washing machines, under sinks – anywhere water could cause expensive problems.
Next, we strategically place the Moen smart leak detectors in these key locations. Each detector connects to your home’s Wi-Fi network and pairs with the Moen Smart Water app on your phone. The remote sensing disc extends detection to hard-to-reach areas with a 48-inch cable.
Finally, we test the entire system to make sure you’re getting alerts properly. You’ll know exactly how the notifications work, what different alerts mean, and how to respond when you get one. The battery-powered units require minimal maintenance and provide years of reliable monitoring.

Courtland’s weather patterns create specific risks that we address with every installation. The area’s hot, dry summers followed by wet winters put stress on plumbing systems, making leak detection especially valuable.
Your Moen system monitors more than just water presence. It tracks humidity levels that could indicate hidden leaks, temperature changes that might signal frozen pipes, and moisture buildup that leads to mold problems. All of this data streams to your phone in real-time.
Our service includes complete setup, Wi-Fi network integration, smartphone app configuration, and testing of all detection points. We also provide ongoing support for battery replacement, system updates, and adding additional detectors as needed. Each detector covers specific zones, and multiple units can work together for whole-home protection.
Moen smart leak detectors send instant notifications to your smartphone the moment water is detected. The alert comes through the Moen Smart Water app as a push notification, and you can also set up text messages, phone calls, or email alerts depending on your preferences.
The system doesn’t wait for water to accumulate or reach a certain level. As soon as the sensors detect moisture where it shouldn’t be, you get notified immediately. This instant response is crucial because water damage can escalate quickly, especially in basements or near appliances.
The real-time monitoring runs 24/7, so you’re protected even when you’re sleeping, at work, or away on vacation. Many Courtland homeowners have prevented major damage because they received alerts while they were out of town and could arrange for immediate response.
We recommend placing Moen leak detectors in areas most vulnerable to water damage. In Courtland homes, this typically includes basements, laundry rooms, near water heaters, under kitchen and bathroom sinks, around washing machines, and near toilets.
Basements are particularly important in this area because of seasonal weather changes and potential foundation issues. The detector’s remote sensing disc can be positioned in tight spaces like behind water heaters or under appliances where leaks often start but go unnoticed.
Each detector covers a specific zone, and the 48-inch cable extends monitoring to hard-to-reach areas. For comprehensive protection, most homes need 3-5 detectors strategically placed throughout the house. We conduct a walkthrough to identify the optimal placement based on your home’s layout and risk factors.
Moen smart leak detectors run on replaceable CR123A batteries, so they continue working even when your home loses power. The batteries typically last 1-2 years under normal conditions, and the system alerts you when battery levels get low.
During power outages, the detectors keep monitoring for leaks, but they can’t send smartphone notifications until your Wi-Fi network comes back online. However, the units store alert data and will notify you of any issues that occurred during the outage once connectivity is restored.
This battery backup is especially valuable during Courtland’s winter storms when power outages and plumbing problems often happen simultaneously. You maintain leak protection when you need it most, and the system automatically reconnects to your network when power returns.
While Moen leak detectors are designed for DIY installation, professional installation by Murray Plumbing ensures optimal placement and proper system configuration. Our experience with Courtland homes means we know exactly where leaks are most likely to occur based on local conditions.
Professional installation includes strategic placement assessment, Wi-Fi network setup, smartphone app configuration, and complete system testing. We also provide ongoing support for battery replacement, troubleshooting, and adding additional detectors as your needs change.
DIY installation might miss critical placement opportunities or result in connectivity issues that reduce the system’s effectiveness. Given the potential cost of water damage – averaging $13,954 per insurance claim – professional installation is a smart investment that ensures your protection system works properly from day one.
Moen leak detectors can prevent catastrophic water damage by catching problems in the early stages. Just one inch of water in a typical home causes up to $25,000 in damage, and 98% of basements experience some water damage during their lifetime.
Early detection is everything with water damage. A small leak that goes unnoticed for weeks can destroy flooring, walls, and personal belongings, while the same leak caught immediately might only require a simple repair. The average water damage insurance claim costs $13,954, but early detection often reduces this to minor repair costs.
In Courtland’s climate, where seasonal changes stress plumbing systems, these detectors are particularly valuable. They’ve helped homeowners avoid basement flooding during heavy rains, catch water heater failures before they destroy finished spaces, and detect slow leaks that would otherwise lead to mold problems and structural damage.
Our installation service includes complete system setup from start to finish. This covers strategic placement assessment, professional installation of all detectors, Wi-Fi network integration, smartphone app setup and configuration, and comprehensive system testing to ensure everything works properly.
The service also includes instruction on how to use the Moen Smart Water app, understanding different types of alerts, proper response procedures when you receive notifications, and ongoing support for questions or issues. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and many customers report final costs came in under initial estimates.
Additional services include battery replacement reminders, system expansion consultation if you want to add more detectors later, and integration with other Moen smart water products. Our 24/7 emergency service means you have professional backup if your detectors alert you to a serious problem that requires immediate plumbing response.
