You’re not just getting a device installed. You’re getting real peace of mind that works while you sleep, while you’re at work, and while you’re on vacation.
Moen leak detectors catch problems before they become disasters. We’re talking about the difference between a quick fix and coming home to thousands of dollars in damage. The system learns your water usage patterns and spots trouble fast – even leaks as small as a single drop per minute.
When something’s wrong, you get an alert immediately. Not hours later when the damage is done. And if it’s serious enough, the system automatically shuts off your water supply before your floors, walls, and belongings get ruined.
We’ve been protecting North Sacramento homes for over 24 years. We understand this area – the aging infrastructure, the seasonal challenges, and what homeowners here really need.
Our team holds the certifications to properly install Moen’s precision-engineered leak detection systems. We’ve seen too many DIY disasters and improper installations that fail when you need them most. When we install your system, it’s done right the first time.
We’re the plumbers your neighbors recommend because we show up on time, explain what we’re doing, and stand behind our work. No surprises, no hidden fees – just honest service from people who live and work in this community.
First, we assess your home’s layout and identify the key areas where leaks typically occur. Every home is different, and placement matters for maximum protection.
Next, we install the main Flo Smart Water Monitor on your home’s main water line. This requires cutting into your plumbing system – not a DIY job. Our licensed plumbers handle this precision work to ensure proper water pressure and system integration.
Then we strategically place Smart Leak Detectors in high-risk areas like near your water heater, under sinks, around toilets, and by your washing machine. These wireless sensors communicate with the main unit and your smartphone. Finally, we connect everything to your Wi-Fi network, test the entire system, and walk you through the app so you know exactly how your protection works.

Your Moen leak detection system includes professional installation, system setup, and app configuration. We don’t just drop off equipment – we ensure everything works perfectly before we leave.
North Sacramento homes face specific challenges. The area’s mix of older and newer construction means different pipe materials, varying water pressure issues, and unique installation requirements. We’ve worked on hundreds of homes here and know what to expect.
The system monitors water flow, pressure changes, and usage patterns 24/7. It sends alerts through the free Moen app, plus text messages, emails, or phone calls when you choose. You can even shut off your water remotely if you’re traveling and get an alert. Many of our North Sacramento customers love this feature – especially those who spend winters elsewhere or travel frequently for work.
Installation costs vary based on your home’s size, plumbing configuration, and how many leak detectors you want placed. The main Flo Smart Water Monitor requires professional installation on your main water line, which is precision work that affects your entire home’s water system.
Most North Sacramento homeowners invest between $1,500-$3,000 for a complete system with professional installation. This includes the main monitoring unit, multiple leak detectors, and proper setup. When you consider that the average water damage claim costs nearly $14,000, and just one inch of water can cause $25,000 in damage, the protection pays for itself quickly.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Many customers also qualify for insurance discounts that help offset the initial investment.
Moen leak detection systems work with virtually all residential plumbing configurations. The main Flo Smart Water Monitor installs on your main water line – typically where it enters your home through the garage, basement, or exterior wall.
North Sacramento has a mix of older homes with galvanized or copper pipes and newer construction with PEX systems. We’ve successfully installed Moen systems on all pipe materials. The key is proper sizing – the standard unit works with 1-inch diameter pipes and smaller, which covers most residential applications.
The wireless leak detectors place anywhere without plumbing modifications. They’re battery-powered and communicate through your Wi-Fi network. We assess your specific setup during our consultation to ensure compatibility and optimal placement.
The system detects abnormal water flow immediately and can shut off your water supply within seconds of identifying a major leak. For smaller leaks, it runs daily micro-leak tests that can identify problems as small as a single drop per minute.
The Smart Leak Detectors placed around your home sense moisture instantly and send alerts to your phone right away. You don’t wait for water to build up – you get notified the moment sensors detect unexpected moisture.
For automatic shutoff, the system analyzes your normal usage patterns first. Once it learns your household’s routine, it can distinguish between normal water use and a burst pipe or major leak. When it detects a serious problem, it closes the main valve automatically to prevent flooding damage.
Yes, Wi-Fi connectivity is essential for the system to function properly. The Moen Smart Water app is how you receive alerts, monitor your water usage, and control the system remotely. Without internet connection, you lose the smart monitoring capabilities that make this system valuable.
The good news is setup is straightforward. We handle the Wi-Fi configuration during installation and ensure strong signal strength where your main unit is located. Most North Sacramento homes have adequate Wi-Fi coverage, but we can recommend solutions if signal strength is an issue.
You can receive alerts through the app, text messages, emails, or phone calls – whatever works best for you. Multiple family members can access the same system through the app, so everyone stays informed about your home’s water status.
We typically recommend placing Smart Leak Detectors near your water heater, under kitchen and bathroom sinks, around toilets, by your washing machine, and near your dishwasher. These are the most common sources of home water damage.
North Sacramento’s climate and housing mix create some specific considerations. Older homes often have water heaters in garages or basements where leaks can go unnoticed. Homes with crawl spaces need detectors placed where pipes are exposed to temperature changes.
We also recommend detectors near any area where you’ve had previous plumbing issues. During our assessment, we identify your home’s specific risk areas based on pipe locations, appliance age, and your home’s construction. Most homes need 3-6 detectors for comprehensive coverage.
Complete installation typically takes 3-4 hours for most North Sacramento homes. This includes installing the main Flo Smart Water Monitor on your water line, placing leak detectors throughout your home, connecting everything to your Wi-Fi network, and testing the entire system.
The main unit installation requires shutting off your water temporarily while we make the connection to your main line. We schedule this work when it’s convenient for your household and restore water service as quickly as possible.
We also spend time walking you through the smartphone app, showing you how alerts work, and explaining your system’s features. You’ll know exactly how everything operates before we leave. Most customers are surprised how user-friendly the technology is once they see it in action.
