You’ll sleep better knowing your home has 24/7 protection against water damage. The average water damage claim in California costs $9,633 and takes up to four days to dry out completely.
Moen’s smart leak detection technology catches leaks as small as one drop per minute before they become expensive disasters. Your system sends instant alerts to your phone, email, and through phone calls whether you’re home or traveling.
Within the first 30 days, 60% of homeowners discover leaks they never knew existed. That’s potentially thousands saved from hidden damage that insurance often won’t cover when it’s been going on too long.
We’ve been serving Meadow Vista and El Dorado County for over 24 years. We know these homes, from the older properties near the foothills to the newer developments.
Your neighbors trust us because we show up when we say we will, quote fair prices, and stand behind our work. We’re the local plumbers who won’t charge you a diagnostic fee just to tell you what’s wrong.
When you need professional Moen leak detector installation, you want someone who understands both the technology and your home’s specific plumbing setup. That’s exactly what we deliver.
Your Moen leak detection system gets installed directly on your main water line, typically where it enters your home. This requires cutting into your existing pipe and installing the smart shutoff valve – definitely not a DIY project.
We’ll also place the wireless leak detectors throughout your home in key areas like under sinks, near water heaters, and around toilets. These battery-powered sensors communicate with the main unit and can trigger automatic water shutoff when moisture is detected.
The whole system connects to your WiFi and pairs with the free Moen app on your phone. You’ll get real-time monitoring of water usage, pressure, and temperature, plus instant alerts if anything seems off. The system even runs daily micro-leak tests to catch problems you’d never notice otherwise.

Your complete Moen leak detection system includes the smart water monitor and shutoff valve, multiple wireless leak detectors, and professional installation by our licensed team. Everything’s covered under warranty with up to $5,000 in insurance deductible coverage through the FloProtect plan.
In Meadow Vista, where home values average around $547,200, protecting your investment makes financial sense. Many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with water leak detection systems – we can help you understand what savings might be available.
The system pays for itself through water conservation alone. Most homeowners see up to 90% reduction in water waste, which translates to real savings on monthly bills. Plus you get the peace of mind knowing your home is monitored even when you’re away at work or traveling.
Installation costs vary depending on your home’s plumbing configuration and which Moen system you choose. The basic Flo Smart Water Monitor starts around $500, while complete systems with multiple leak detectors run $800-1200.
Professional installation typically adds $200-400 depending on complexity. Some homes need additional electrical work if there’s no outlet near the main water line. We provide upfront pricing with no surprise charges – the quote we give is what you pay.
Many homeowners find the system pays for itself within the first year through water savings and potential insurance discounts. We’ll help you understand what rebates or discounts might be available in your specific situation.
Most homes in Meadow Vista can accommodate Moen’s leak detection systems, but there are a few requirements. Your main water line needs to be 1 inch diameter or smaller, and you’ll need WiFi coverage and an electrical outlet within about 10 feet of the installation point.
The system works with copper, PVC, and most other common pipe materials. However, homes with very old galvanized pipes or unusual configurations might need additional work. That’s why we always do a site assessment before installation.
We also check your water pressure and flow rates to ensure optimal performance. If your home has a pressure regulator or other special equipment, we’ll make sure everything works together properly. Our 24 years of local experience means we’ve seen just about every plumbing setup in the area.
Your system immediately sends alerts through the app, text messages, email, and phone calls. If it detects a major leak or unusual water flow, it can automatically shut off your home’s water supply to prevent flooding damage.
The smart leak detectors placed around your home will trigger alerts for moisture from sources the main unit can’t detect – like a leaking toilet, dishwasher, or water heater. Even if your WiFi goes down, the system continues protecting your home using its stored learning patterns.
You can remotely turn your water back on through the app once you’ve addressed the issue, or have us come out for emergency service. Many homeowners appreciate being able to shut off water remotely when they’re traveling and get an unexpected alert about unusual usage.
The main Flo unit requires minimal maintenance since it’s designed to run continuously for years. The wireless leak detectors use CR123A lithium batteries that typically last about two years, and the app will alert you when battery levels get low.
We recommend annual system checks to ensure sensors are clean and properly positioned, especially if you’ve done any home renovations or moved appliances. The system automatically runs daily tests to verify everything’s working correctly.
Software updates happen automatically through your WiFi connection, so your system stays current with the latest features and improvements. If you ever have connectivity issues or questions about readings, we’re available for service calls and troubleshooting support.
Many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with monitored water leak detection systems, though specific savings vary by carrier and policy. The discounts typically range from 5-20% off your annual premium.
Since water damage makes up over 56% of homeowners insurance claims in California, insurers recognize the value of early detection systems. Some carriers also offer additional coverage or reduced deductibles for homes with professionally installed leak detection.
We can provide documentation of your system installation for your insurance company. The Moen FloProtect plan also includes up to $5,000 in insurance deductible coverage, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs if you do experience water damage despite the system’s protection.
Moen’s Flo system stands out because it monitors your entire home’s water usage patterns and learns what’s normal for your household. This allows it to detect even tiny leaks that other systems miss – problems as small as a single drop per minute.
The FloSense technology continuously analyzes pressure, flow rate, and temperature to identify abnormalities. Most other systems only detect moisture after water has already leaked onto floors or surfaces. Moen catches problems in the pipes themselves before damage occurs.
Professional installation ensures optimal performance and maintains your warranty coverage. The system integrates with popular smart home platforms and includes a free app with no monthly subscription fees. Plus, the three-year FloProtect plan provides extended warranty coverage and insurance deductible assistance that most competitors don’t offer.
