The Moen Smart Leak Detection System (Flo by Moen)

When we get to choose the system, we install the Flo by Moen. It’s one of the most capable and well-supported smart leak detection systems on the market, and it’s built to protect your home whether you’re there or 2,000 miles away.
Here’s what the system does:

24/7 monitoring — Continuously monitors for moisture, extreme temperatures, and high humidity throughout your home.
Automatic water shutoff — Using FloSense Technology, the system learns your home’s normal water usage patterns. If it detects something abnormal, it can automatically shut off the main water line before damage spreads, even if no one is home.
Real-time alerts — Get notified via the Moen Smart Water App, text, phone call, or email the moment something is detected.
Full water usage monitoring — The app shows your complete water usage habits, inside and outside the home.
Whole-home coverage — Multiple sensors can be connected throughout the home. Each sensor includes an extension cable with a Remote Sensing Disc that reaches up to 48 inches for tight or hard-to-access spaces.
Smart home integration — Compatible with Amazon Alexa and works on both iOS and Android.

We can also install other smart leak detection systems if your insurer supplies one. But if you’re starting from scratch and want a recommendation, Flo by Moen is what we stand behind.

Why Homeowners Are Installing Smart Leak Detection

Water damage accounts for 1 in 4 insurance claims, making it one of the most common and costly problems homeowners face.

A smart leak detection system is one of the most practical upgrades you can add to your home, especially if you travel, own a vacation property, or simply want to stop worrying about what’s happening behind your walls.

Here’s what you’re protecting against:

Burst pipes from freezing temperatures or pressure changes
Slow leaks behind walls, under slabs, or beneath appliances that go undetected for months
Flooding while you’re away with no one home to catch it
Mold and structural damage that follows untreated water intrusion
Water waste that quietly drives up your utility bills
Insurance non-renewal or rate increases tied to water damage history

Installation That Goes Beyond the Sensor

Smart leak detection installation isn’t always just dropping in a sensor. Depending on your home’s plumbing configuration, the job may also involve replacing a shutoff valve, rerouting a line, or other plumbing work to integrate the system properly. Our team assesses the full scope before we start and walks you through exactly what’s needed, with no surprises on the back end.

Santa Cruz Smart Leak Installation FAQs

What are the signs that I may have a leaking pipe?

Some pipe leaks are obvious, but others can be harder to detect. Common signs include water stains on walls or ceilings, musty odors, rust on pipes, or unexplained increases in your water bill. You might also notice soft spots on floors or walls. If you see any of these warning signs, our team at Rosenthal Plumbing can locate the leak and repair the pipe before it causes further damage.

Can a small pipe leak cause serious damage?

Yes. Even a small leak can waste a large amount of water and cause significant damage to your home if it goes untreated. Water from leaking pipes can damage flooring, drywall, and cabinets, and it may even lead to mold or mildew growth over time. That’s why it’s important to have pipe leaks repaired as soon as possible.

What types of pipe repair services does Rosenthal Plumbing provide?

At Rosenthal Plumbing, we repair many types of pipe problems, including leaking pipes, slab leaks, noisy pipes, and damaged or corroded water lines. We can also replace outdated pipes with modern materials like copper or PEX if your plumbing system needs an upgrade. Our experienced plumbers are trained to diagnose the issue and recommend the most reliable solution.

When should I call a plumber for pipe repair?

You should call a plumber as soon as you notice signs of a leak, unusual pipe noises, water pooling around fixtures, or low water pressure. Plumbing issues rarely resolve themselves and can quickly become more serious. Our team at Rosenthal Plumbing can identify the problem and repair your pipes before the damage spreads throughout your home.

Do you offer emergency pipe repair services?

Yes. If you experience a burst pipe or a sudden leak, Rosenthal Plumbing offers prompt service to help minimize damage to your home. Our plumbers can quickly locate the source of the leak, repair the broken pipe, and ensure your plumbing system is working properly again.
