Smart Leak Shutoff

For mountain homes — especially those used seasonally — a smart leak detection and shutoff system is one of the most valuable investments you can make. We install and support Moen Flo and similar whole-home monitoring systems that detect leaks, freeze risk, and unusual water use before damage occurs.

Water damage is the most common — and most expensive — insurance claim for mountain homeowners. A single undetected leak or frozen pipe can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage, especially in homes that sit empty between visits.

Smart leak detection and automatic shutoff systems change that equation entirely. By monitoring your water supply in real time and shutting off flow the moment something looks wrong, these systems protect your home around the clock — whether you’re there or not.

Moen Flo Installation

We’re experienced installers of the Moen Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff system. The device installs directly on your main water supply line and monitors flow, pressure, and temperature continuously. If it detects a leak, unusual usage, or freeze risk, it can shut off your water automatically and alert you via the smartphone app.

Installation is straightforward and typically completed in a few hours. We handle the plumbing connection, Wi-Fi setup, app configuration, and system calibration.

Freeze Protection

For Tahoe and Truckee homes, freeze detection is one of the most valuable features. The system monitors water temperature and pressure patterns that indicate freezing conditions, and it can shut off water before a frozen pipe bursts — even if you’re hundreds of miles away.

Remote Monitoring for Second Homes

If your Tahoe home is a second residence, smart water monitoring gives you visibility you wouldn’t otherwise have. The app shows real-time water usage, alerts you to anomalies, and lets you shut off water remotely with a single tap. Property managers can be added as secondary users for shared oversight.

Insurance Benefits

Many insurance providers now recognize smart water monitoring systems as a meaningful risk reduction measure. Installing a Moen Flo system may qualify you for premium discounts — and more importantly, it dramatically reduces the likelihood of a catastrophic water damage claim.

Common issues we resolve

Undetected Leaks in Vacant Homes

A small leak in an empty home can run for weeks, causing catastrophic water damage. Smart shutoff systems detect anomalies and close the main valve automatically.

Frozen Pipe Risk

When temperatures drop and a home is unoccupied, frozen pipes can burst without warning. Smart monitors track temperature and water pressure, alerting you before a freeze causes damage.

Insurance Requirements

Many insurers now recommend or require water monitoring systems for high-value properties. A Moen Flo installation can help meet those requirements and may reduce premiums.

No Visibility for Remote Owners

If you manage your Tahoe home from out of the area, a smart water monitor gives you real-time visibility into your plumbing system from anywhere.

Slow Leaks Behind Walls

Smart systems detect subtle changes in water flow that indicate hidden leaks — catching problems that would otherwise go unnoticed until visible damage appears.
