You wake up to dry floors instead of soaked carpets. Your insurance stays low instead of spiking after a claim. Your vacation continues uninterrupted instead of rushing home to a flooded house.
That’s what happens when Moen leak detectors catch problems before they become disasters. These smart systems detect leaks as small as one drop per minute – anywhere in your home – and alert your phone instantly. If it’s serious, they automatically shut off your water to prevent catastrophic damage.
No more wondering if that slow drip behind the wall is getting worse. No more discovering water damage weeks after it started. Just protection that works around the clock, even during power outages.
We know Penryn homes inside and out. We’ve seen how older homes in our area face unique challenges – from aging pipe systems that need careful attention to regional water conditions that generic solutions miss.
That’s why we’re certified to install Moen’s smart leak detection systems properly the first time. We understand which locations in your home need monitoring most, how to integrate with your existing plumbing, and what it takes to protect Penryn properties from water damage.
Our 4.7-star Google rating reflects years of transparent pricing, quick response times, and professional service that local homeowners trust.
First, we assess your home’s specific risk areas – water heater, washing machine, under sinks, and anywhere pipes run behind walls. Every Penryn home is different, and we know where problems typically start.
Next, we install the main Flo device on your water line and place smart leak detectors in strategic locations. The system learns your family’s water usage patterns over the first few weeks, so it knows the difference between normal activity and actual problems.
Finally, we test everything and show you how the smartphone app works. You’ll get real-time alerts for any issues, see your water usage patterns, and have the peace of mind that comes with 24/7 protection. If you’re not home when something happens, the system can automatically shut off your water to prevent major damage.

Your Moen leak detection system includes the main monitoring device, strategic placement of sensors throughout your home, and smartphone alerts that work anywhere you have cell service. The AI-powered system learns your home’s patterns to minimize false alarms while catching real problems fast.
In Penryn, where many homes were built decades ago, this technology is especially valuable. Older plumbing systems can develop slow leaks that go undetected for months, causing thousands in damage. The Moen system catches these problems early, often within the first 30 days of installation.
You also get potential insurance discounts – many carriers offer premium reductions for homes with professionally installed leak detection. Some policies even include up to $5,000 in deductible coverage when you have a Moen system with their protection plan.
Installation costs vary based on your home’s size and how many detection points you need, but most Penryn homeowners invest between $1,500-$3,500 for a complete system. This includes the main monitoring device, multiple leak sensors, professional installation, and system setup.
Consider that the average water damage claim in California costs over $15,000, and many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with professional leak detection systems. The investment often pays for itself by preventing just one major leak incident.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing during our assessment, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Yes, Moen leak detectors work with virtually all residential plumbing systems, including the older configurations common in Penryn homes. The main device installs on your water line regardless of pipe material or age, and the wireless sensors can be placed anywhere moisture might be a concern.
In fact, older homes often benefit most from these systems because aging pipes, fittings, and water heaters are more prone to unexpected failures. We’ve successfully installed Moen systems in homes throughout Penryn, from newer construction to properties built in the 1960s and earlier.
During our assessment, we’ll identify any unique considerations for your home and ensure the system integrates properly with your existing plumbing setup.
You’ll receive instant alerts on your smartphone via the Moen app, text message, email, or phone call – whatever you prefer. The alert tells you exactly where the leak is detected and how serious it appears to be.
For minor issues like a dripping faucet, you can decide whether to address it immediately or wait until you return. For major problems like a burst pipe, the system can automatically shut off your home’s main water supply to prevent catastrophic damage.
Even if your WiFi goes down, the system continues working using its stored learning patterns. This means your home stays protected whether you’re at work, on vacation, or anywhere else. Many of our Penryn customers say this remote monitoring capability is what convinced them to invest in the system.
Moen’s FloSense technology uses artificial intelligence to learn your family’s specific water usage patterns, which dramatically reduces false alarms compared to basic leak detectors. The system knows the difference between your morning shower routine and an actual leak.
The sensors can detect moisture from leaks as small as one drop per minute, but they’re smart enough to distinguish between normal humidity changes and actual water problems. During the first few weeks after installation, the system learns your home’s patterns and becomes increasingly accurate.
If you do get an alert, it’s worth checking out. Our experience in Penryn shows that when these systems alert homeowners, there’s usually a real issue that needs attention – even if it’s something minor that can be addressed before it becomes expensive.
Moen strongly recommends professional installation, and for good reason. The main monitoring device requires connection to your home’s water line, which involves plumbing work that should be done by a licensed professional. Incorrect installation can affect water pressure or create new leak points.
Professional installation also ensures optimal sensor placement throughout your home. We know where leaks typically start in Penryn homes and can position sensors for maximum protection. This includes areas you might not think of, like behind washing machines or near older pipe connections.
Our installation includes testing the entire system, connecting it to your WiFi network, setting up your smartphone app, and showing you how everything works. You’ll have confidence that your system is properly installed and ready to protect your home from day one.
Many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with professionally installed leak detection systems, recognizing that these devices significantly reduce the risk of major water damage claims. Some carriers provide premium reductions of 5-15% for homes with smart water monitoring.
Additionally, Moen offers optional protection plans that include up to $5,000 in insurance deductible coverage if water damage occurs despite having their system installed. This can provide substantial financial protection beyond your regular homeowners policy.
We recommend contacting your insurance agent after installation to discuss potential discounts. Many of our Penryn customers have been pleasantly surprised by the insurance benefits, which often help offset the system’s cost over time. The real value, though, is avoiding the hassle and expense of water damage in the first place.
