We often think of home safety in terms of security systems, fire alarms, and carbon monoxide detectors. But there’s another silent threat that can cause thousands of dollars in damage—water leaks. Burst pipes, dripping faucets, and hidden leaks inside walls can wreak havoc, and the worst part - you may not notice until it’s too late. Fortunately, Moen has developed a game-changing solution to keep your home safe and dry: the Moen Smart Leak Detector System.
Imagine this: You're on vacation or at work, and a pipe bursts in your laundry room. Water rapidly spreads across the floor, soaking into the walls and seeping through multiple levels into the structure of your home. With traditional methods, you might not realize there's an issue until you return to a flooded house. That’s where Moen’s smart technology comes into play. I have lived this a few times and once is too many times.
The Moen Smart Leak Detector System offers a seamless way to monitor your home for potential water leaks, no matter where you are. Installed on the main incoming water line, the main unit tracks water flow and pressure—measured in PSI (pounds per square inch). Both excessive flow and high pressure can wreak havoc on your home, but Moen’s system acts as a vigilant guardian, ensuring that any abnormalities are immediately detected.
One standout feature is Moen’s Remote Water Sensors. These small, battery-operated, Wi-Fi-enabled sensors can be placed in hard-to-reach areas, like under appliances or inside cabinets. They continuously monitor for moisture, and if a leak is detected, they'll cut the water off while simultaneously sending your an alert on the app. These sensors are particularly valuable in spots prone to slow leaks, which can go unnoticed for months but lead to mold and structural damage over time. They’re easy to install and seamlessly integrate with the Moen app for real-time monitoring.
Beyond detection, Moen’s system also integrates with smart home hubs/routers, allowing you to shut off the water remotely if a leak occurs via their app or even manually when onsite with a simple turn of a dial, providing peace of mind whether you’re at home or miles away. This gives you the chance to take action before the situation escalates into a more costly disaster.
The Moen Smart Leak Detector System and Remote Water Sensors serve as your first line of defense against water damage, protecting you and your home and your wallet from unexpected surprises.
Some say, "don't sweat the small stuff", but don't wait for a disaster when the prevention of it can be just so smart!
