I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been called to a house in Sacramento where a “small leak” turned into a big mess. One homeowner didn’t notice the slow drip under their kitchen sink until the wood was swollen and smelled like mildew. If a smart water leak detection system had been there, they could have stopped it long before it got that bad.

From the field

We installed one of these systems in a home where the owners only live during the summer. A couple of weeks later, the sensor near the water heater tripped — a valve had started dripping. They got the alert, called us, and we swapped the part the same day. Cost: minimal. Without it, they’d have come back to water damage and mold.

Bottom line — a smart leak detection system works like an always-on insurance policy, without the paperwork.

FAQ:

Q1: How does a smart water leak detector actually work?

A: Think of it like a smoke alarm, but for water. Sensors watch for unusual water flow or moisture where it shouldn’t be. If something’s wrong, it can alert you on your phone or even shut off the water before things get messy.

Q2: Where’s the best place to put leak detectors?

A: Anywhere a leak could cause trouble—under sinks, next to your water heater, behind the washing machine, under your dishwasher, or in a basement or crawl space. These are spots where leaks often hide until it’s too late.

Q3: Will this really save me money?

A: Absolutely. Stopping a leak early means avoiding thousands in repair costs, mold cleanup, or sky-high water bills. It’s like having a 24/7 watchman for your plumbing.

Q4: Does it work if my Wi-Fi goes out?

A: Some detectors will still sound an alarm if Wi-Fi’s down. The smart ones with Wi-Fi just give you extra peace of mind because they send alerts to your phone—whether you’re at work, on vacation, or just in another room.

Q5: How often do I need to check it?

A: Twice a year is a good habit. Replace the batteries when needed, and make sure the sensors are clean and dry so they can do their job.

Q6: Do you offer installation around Sacramento?

A: Yes—Golden Valley Plumbing installs and services water leak detection systems in Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Rocklin, Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, and all surrounding areas.

Q7: Why my insurance requiring me to install Flo by Moen water leak detection?
