The Benefits of Flo Smart Water Shutoff

In Santa Cruz, the Flo by Moen valve isn’t just a gadget—it’s a practical ally against water woes, tailored to the town’s coastal charm and eco-minded spirit. Here are some of the reasons why installing Flo by Moen is a smart investment.

Protection Against Water Damage in a Coastal Climate

Santa Cruz County’s coastal climate can accelerate pipe corrosion and increase the risk of leaks or bursts.

If unusual activity—like a pressure drop or excessive flow—is detected, you’ll receive instant alerts via text, email, or app notifications.

For homeowners with properties in Scotts Valley, Felton, or the Santa Cruz Mountains, this feature provides peace of mind when you’re away.

Duncan Plumbing was fabulous for an emergency repair on a weekend. Their dispatcher responded to my call immediately, scheduled an appointment, and followed up when the team was delayed. The plumber who arrived was personable and fixed the leak in an hour. Great service!

It is a pleasure to recommend Duncan Plumbing. I enjoyed working with the owner on the complexities of repairing/replacing old pipes from my 1880's home. We were able to select workable solutions for the situation with his long-range experience and skillful means.
Also, Frank Gonzalez, technician/plumber, with his many years of experience, was able to create a new design with the other workers. The results are very high quality, especially the new design for a self-contained toilet and sink powered by electricity, in the basement. Frank was knowledgeable, easy to work with, and devoted himself attending to details with utmost care.
Thank you to Duncan Plumbing for a job well done.
