Fourteen thousand Americans discover water damage in their homes every single day. In California, water damage makes up over half of all homeowners insurance claims—and the average payout exceeds $15,000.
You don’t have to become another statistic. Moen smart leak detectors catch problems the moment they start, sending instant alerts to your phone whether you’re home, at work, or traveling. No more coming home to flooded basements or discovering burst pipes after thousands in damage.
These aren’t just moisture sensors—they monitor temperature and humidity too, catching frozen pipe risks and hidden leaks that traditional methods miss. Place them anywhere water could cause problems, and they’ll guard your investment around the clock.
Murray Plumbing earned our 4.7-star Google rating through consistent results: quick response times, professional work, and transparent pricing that often costs less than our estimates. When Elmhurst homeowners need reliable plumbing, they call us first.
We know this area’s plumbing challenges intimately. Elmhurst’s mix of older homes and newer construction creates unique leak risks—from aging cast iron pipes in established neighborhoods to high water pressure issues that stress modern systems. We’ve installed smart leak detection in every type of property here.
Our 24/7 emergency service means real people answer your calls, not automated systems. When water damage threatens, every minute counts. That’s why we guarantee fast response and bring everything needed to stop leaks immediately.
We start with a comprehensive assessment of your home’s water risk zones. Every property is different—your 1950s ranch has different vulnerabilities than a modern two-story. We identify optimal detector placement based on your specific layout, plumbing configuration, and potential trouble spots.
Installation involves strategic placement near water heaters, under sinks, by washing machines, and in basements where leaks often hide. Each detector connects to your home’s Wi-Fi network and syncs with the Moen Smart Water Network app on your smartphone. We test every sensor and configure your alert preferences.
Before we leave, you’ll understand exactly how your system works. We show you battery indicators, walk through the app interface, and explain integration options with whole-home water shutoff systems. You get written instructions and our direct number for any questions that come up later.

Your Moen leak detector installation includes professional site assessment, strategic sensor placement, complete app setup, and thorough system testing. Each detector monitors water presence, extreme temperatures, and humidity levels that signal potential problems.
Elmhurst’s Mediterranean climate creates specific challenges—winter rains can overwhelm older drainage systems, while summer heat stresses pipes and fittings. Our detectors catch problems from all these seasonal factors before they become expensive emergencies.
The system works standalone for monitoring and alerts, or integrates with Moen’s Smart Water Shutoff for automatic main line closure when leaks occur. No monthly fees ever—just reliable protection that pays for itself the first time it prevents major water damage.
Moen leak detectors provide instant alerts the moment water is detected. You’ll receive push notifications through the Moen Smart Water Network app, audible alarms from the device, and flashing LED lights—all happening simultaneously within seconds of water contact.
This speed matters because water damage escalates incredibly fast. What starts as a small drip can cause thousands in damage within hours. The sensors are sensitive enough to detect even tiny amounts of moisture, giving you the fastest possible warning to shut off water and call for help.
When paired with the Moen Smart Water Shutoff system, your home’s main water supply can automatically shut off when leaks are detected, protecting your property even when you’re not there to respond. This automation has saved countless homeowners from catastrophic damage when they were at work or traveling.
Strategic placement covers your home’s most vulnerable water zones. We typically install detectors under kitchen and bathroom sinks, near water heaters, by washing machines and dishwashers, in utility rooms, and anywhere pipes run through walls or foundations.
Elmhurst’s older homes need special attention around cast iron pipe connections and areas where settling may have stressed plumbing joints. Newer homes benefit from monitoring high-pressure zones and appliance connections where failures commonly occur. Each detector includes a 48-inch extension cable for reaching tight spaces under appliances.
For comprehensive protection, most homes need 3-6 detectors depending on size and layout. We help determine the optimal number and placement during our initial assessment, ensuring maximum coverage without unnecessary expense.
When water touches any sensor, multiple alert systems activate immediately. Your smartphone receives a push notification showing exactly which detector triggered the alert. The device itself sounds a loud alarm and flashes bright LED lights to alert anyone in the house.
You can customize alert preferences through the app—choose push notifications, text messages, phone calls, or email alerts based on your needs. The app displays real-time status of all detectors, so you can quickly assess whether it’s a minor issue or major emergency.
If you have the Smart Water Shutoff valve installed, you can remotely shut off your home’s main water supply through the app, or configure automatic shutoff when any detector triggers. This remote control capability is invaluable when you’re away from home and need to stop water flow immediately.
Installation costs depend on the number of detectors and your home’s complexity, but the investment is minimal compared to water damage repair costs. The average water damage claim exceeds $15,000, while a comprehensive leak detection system costs a fraction of that amount.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden diagnostic fees—a practice that sets us apart from competitors who add surprise charges. Many customers tell us our final bill is actually lower than our estimate because we work efficiently and don’t pad costs.
During our free consultation, we assess your specific needs and provide detailed pricing for equipment and installation. We also offer financing options to make the system accessible regardless of budget constraints, because preventing water damage shouldn’t wait for perfect timing.
Yes, Moen Smart Water Security products integrate seamlessly with popular platforms including Alarm.com, Ring, Google Assistant, and others. This integration lets you incorporate water monitoring into existing home automation routines and receive alerts through your preferred smart home interface.
Integration enables advanced automation beyond basic alerts. You can program smart lights to flash when leaks occur, have security systems notify monitoring services, or create custom responses that fit your lifestyle. The flexibility maximizes your existing smart home investment.
Even without smart home integration, the Moen Smart Water Network app provides complete system control. The app is free with no subscription fees and works on both iPhone and Android devices, giving you comprehensive monitoring anywhere you have internet access.
Moen leak detectors require minimal maintenance—primarily battery replacement every 1-2 years. The app alerts you when battery levels drop, so you’re never surprised by dead sensors. Battery replacement takes less than a minute per detector.
Monthly testing involves pressing the test button on each detector to confirm it’s communicating properly with your app and that all alert systems work correctly. We also recommend occasional sensor cleaning with a soft cloth to remove dust that could affect sensitivity.
We provide a detailed maintenance schedule during installation and show you how to perform these simple checks. Our team is also available for annual system reviews to ensure optimal performance and to discuss adding detectors if you renovate or expand your home’s water systems.
