You’ll sleep better knowing your home has round-the-clock protection against water damage. These smart detectors catch leaks as small as one drop per minute, sending instant alerts to your phone before a minor drip becomes a major disaster.
No more surprise water bills. No more insurance headaches. No more coming home to flooded floors or ruined belongings. Just reliable protection that works whether you’re home, at work, or on vacation.
The system learns your water usage patterns and automatically shuts off water when something’s wrong. You get peace of mind, your insurance company stays happy, and your wallet thanks you for catching problems early.
We’ve been protecting Northern California homes since 2009, with over 24 years of combined plumbing experience. We maintain a 4.7-star Google rating because we show up on time, work clean, and charge fair prices.
Our team knows Hood’s unique plumbing challenges. From older homes with aging pipes to newer construction, we’ve seen it all. We’re available 24/7 for emergencies because water damage doesn’t wait for business hours.
What sets us apart is simple: we do what we say we’ll do. Many customers tell us our final bill was actually less than the estimate. That’s the kind of honest service that keeps families coming back.
First, our technician assesses your home to determine the best detector placement. We typically install them near water heaters, washing machines, sinks, and other leak-prone areas. The whole process usually takes under two hours.
Next, we connect your detectors to your home’s Wi-Fi network and sync them with the Moen Smart Water App on your phone. We test everything to make sure alerts work properly and show you how to use the system.
Finally, we walk you through the app features, explain what different alerts mean, and leave you with our contact information for any questions. You’ll have professional-grade protection that’s simple to understand and use.

Your Moen leak detector installation includes professional placement in high-risk areas, full app setup, and comprehensive testing. Each detector monitors water, temperature, and humidity levels continuously.
Hood homeowners face specific challenges with seasonal temperature changes and older plumbing systems common in the area. These smart detectors are especially valuable here because they catch problems before California’s strict water waste penalties kick in.
You’ll also get access to potential rebates through SoCal WaterSmart programs and possible insurance discounts. Many Hood residents are surprised to learn their insurance company offers reduced premiums for homes with professional leak detection systems installed.
Installation costs vary based on how many detectors you need and your home’s layout, but most Hood homeowners spend between $150-400 per detector including professional installation. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins.
The investment pays for itself quickly. These systems can reduce water waste by up to 90%, and catching just one small leak early can save thousands in damage costs. Many customers see lower water bills within the first month.
We offer free estimates and can often complete installation the same day you call. No hidden fees, no surprise charges – just honest pricing for quality work.
Many insurance companies now offer discounts for homes with professionally installed leak detection systems, and some are starting to require them. We can provide documentation of your installation for your insurance agent.
California’s insurance landscape is changing rapidly. Some companies offer 5-10% discounts on water damage coverage, while others provide credits toward your deductible. It’s worth a quick call to your agent to ask about available programs.
Even without insurance discounts, the system pays for itself by preventing damage. Water damage claims average $10,000-15,000, so spending a few hundred dollars on prevention makes financial sense.
Each Moen Smart Leak Detector comes with a CR123A lithium battery that lasts over three years with normal use. The app alerts you well before the battery needs replacing, so you’re never caught off guard.
Battery replacement is simple – just pop out the old one and insert a new one. No special tools required. The detectors also have low-battery indicators that flash when it’s time for a change.
We recommend keeping spare batteries on hand, especially if you have multiple detectors. Most hardware stores carry CR123A batteries, or you can order them online in bulk for convenience.
Your Moen detectors will continue protecting your home even without Wi-Fi. They store the latest water usage patterns locally and will still shut off water if they detect a major leak.
You won’t receive smartphone alerts during Wi-Fi outages, but the detectors still sound audible alarms and display visual warnings. Once your internet connection returns, all functionality resumes automatically.
For maximum protection, consider pairing your detectors with the Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff, which includes battery backup for continued operation during power outages too.
While Moen detectors are designed for DIY installation, professional installation ensures optimal placement and proper setup. Our technicians know exactly where leaks are most likely to occur in Hood-area homes.
We also handle the Wi-Fi setup, app configuration, and system testing – steps that often frustrate homeowners trying to do it themselves. Plus, professional installation provides documentation for insurance purposes.
The small additional cost for professional installation gives you peace of mind that everything’s working correctly from day one. We also provide ongoing support if you have questions about your system.
Moen Smart Leak Detectors are engineered to minimize false alarms while catching real problems early. They distinguish between temporary moisture (like shower steam) and actual leaks that require attention.
The detectors use advanced sensors that detect sustained moisture contact, not brief humidity spikes. You can also customize sensitivity settings through the app to match your home’s specific conditions.
If you do get an occasional false alarm, it’s usually due to placement near high-humidity areas. Our technicians know how to position detectors for maximum accuracy while avoiding common false alarm triggers.
