You’ll sleep better knowing your home is protected 24/7. Smart leak detectors don’t just find problems – they stop them before they become disasters.
When water damage hits, you’re looking at an average of $15,400 in repairs. Just one inch of flooding can cost $25,000 to fix. But with Moen’s smart detection system, you get real-time alerts the moment moisture appears anywhere in your home.
Your insurance company might even reward you with lower premiums. Many carriers offer discounts for homes with professional leak detection systems because they know prevention saves everyone money.
We’ve been serving Northern California for over two decades. Our team knows California homes face unique challenges – aging infrastructure, external pipes exposed to weather, and the reality that this state leads the nation in water damage claims.
That’s exactly why local expertise matters. We understand how California’s climate and construction methods create specific vulnerabilities. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in homes just like yours.
As a family-owned business with low overhead, we keep prices fair while maintaining the highest standards. No surprise fees, no diagnostic charges – just honest work from people who live in your community.
Professional installation typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on your home’s plumbing layout. Our licensed technicians handle the entire process from start to finish.
First, we assess your home’s most vulnerable areas – near water heaters, washing machines, sinks, and basements where leaks commonly start. The Moen system connects to your Wi-Fi network and integrates with your smartphone through the user-friendly app.
Each detector monitors moisture, temperature, and humidity continuously. When water is detected, you get instant alerts through multiple channels – app notifications, texts, phone calls, or emails. If you have the Moen Smart Water Shutoff installed, the system can automatically turn off your main water line to prevent major flooding.

Your Moen leak detector system does more than just find water where it shouldn’t be. It’s a comprehensive home protection system that monitors environmental conditions around the clock.
In Freeport’s climate, temperature fluctuations can stress plumbing systems. Your detectors watch for freezing conditions that could crack pipes, and high humidity levels that promote mold growth. Each unit runs for over three years on a single battery, providing continuous protection without maintenance headaches.
The system learns your home’s normal water usage patterns and can identify unusual consumption that might indicate hidden leaks. This isn’t just about preventing catastrophic floods – it’s about catching small problems before they waste water and drive up your utility bills. Even a dripping faucet can waste hundreds of gallons annually.
Moen leak detectors can identify leaks as small as one drop per minute. The moment moisture touches the sensor, you’ll receive an alert through your smartphone app, text message, phone call, or email – whatever notification method you prefer.
This speed matters because water damage happens fast. A small crack in a pipe can release 250 gallons in just 24 hours. By catching problems at the first sign of moisture, you can address issues before they become expensive disasters.
The system works continuously, monitoring conditions even when you’re sleeping or away from home. You’ll know about problems immediately, not days or weeks later when damage is already done.
Many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with professionally installed leak detection systems. While specific discounts vary by carrier and location, insurers recognize that prevention significantly reduces their risk of paying large water damage claims.
Water damage ranks as the second most common homeowner’s insurance claim, with average payouts exceeding $15,000. Insurance companies would rather reward prevention than pay for repairs. Some carriers offer rebates or tax credits in addition to premium discounts.
Contact your insurance agent after installation to discuss available discounts. We can provide documentation of your professional installation to support your claim for reduced premiums.
In California homes, focus on areas where pipes are exposed to temperature changes and where water-using appliances are located. This includes near water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, and under kitchen and bathroom sinks.
Basements and crawl spaces are critical because 98% of basements experience some water damage during a home’s lifetime. In Freeport’s climate, pipes located outside the house or in unheated areas face additional stress from temperature fluctuations.
Don’t overlook areas behind walls where slow leaks can cause extensive damage before being discovered. The Moen system includes remote sensing cables that can be placed in hard-to-reach spots where traditional detection would miss problems.
Professional installation by our team typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on your home’s size and plumbing complexity. This includes positioning detectors in optimal locations, connecting them to your Wi-Fi network, and setting up the smartphone app.
We’ll walk through your home to identify the most vulnerable areas and explain why each location was chosen. We’ll test each detector to ensure proper function and show you how to use the app to monitor your system.
Installation includes mounting hardware for wall placement or floor positioning, depending on what works best for each location. You’ll receive complete instructions for the app and know exactly how to respond if you receive an alert.
Yes, Moen leak detectors have built-in battery backup that continues monitoring your home even during power outages. Each detector runs for over three years on its included lithium battery, so power interruptions won’t leave you unprotected.
For internet connectivity, the detectors will store alert information and send notifications once your Wi-Fi connection is restored. The local sensors continue monitoring moisture, temperature, and humidity regardless of internet status.
If you have the Moen Smart Water Shutoff system installed, it also includes battery backup to maintain protection during power outages. This ensures your home stays protected even when the power grid fails during storms or other emergencies.
Moen leak detectors require minimal maintenance once installed. The primary maintenance task is replacing the lithium battery every 2-3 years, and the system will alert you well before the battery runs low.
Occasionally wipe the sensors clean to ensure accurate moisture detection. The app will notify you if any detector needs attention or if there are connectivity issues that need addressing.
We can provide ongoing maintenance support if needed, but the system is designed for hands-off operation. Regular app updates happen automatically, and the system continuously monitors its own performance to ensure reliable protection.
