Are you worried about protecting your home from water damage?
Does your homeowners insurance require the installation of a leak detection device like the Moen Flo?
We specialize in the professional installation of Moen Flo leak detection and shut-off systems in the mountain communities of Crestline, Lake Arrowhead, Big Bear, and Running Springs in the San Bernardino Mountains, California. In these high-altitude, colder areas, the Moen Flo device must be installed indoors within a home or cabin. The device’s operational requirement stipulates that the temperature must not drop below 36 degrees Fahrenheit; otherwise, its functionality could be compromised. Our skilled technicians are experts in ensuring that your Moen Flo system is correctly installed in an environment where it can perform optimally, safeguarding your property against the risks of water damage in these unique climatic conditions.
After installation by one of our certified plumbers, we provide you with a verification letter for your insurance documentation, ensuring that you meet any policy stipulations. This installation protects your home from potential water leaks, supports water conservation, and could lower insurance costs through proactive risk management.
Water damage represents a major risk for homeowners, potentially resulting in expensive repairs and loss of personal belongings. Damage can worsen if not dealt with quickly. Installing a Moen Flo Smart Water Monitor helps prevent catastrophic leaks while also meeting insurance mandates, offering you security and protecting your investment.
