Water damage is one of the most costly — and stressful — issues homeowners face. A burst pipe, undetected leak, or failing water heater can quickly cause thousands of dollars in damage. The good news? Most water damage is preventable with the right systems in place.
At Valley Construction, we’ve seen firsthand how two devices drastically reduce risk:
👉 A properly functioning PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve)
👉 A Moen Flo Smart Water Monitor & Shutoff System
Together, they form the ultimate home-protection combo.
Why Water Pressure Matters More Than You Think
A PRV regulates your home’s incoming water pressure. Too much pressure can damage:
- Pipes
- Water heaters
- Appliances
- Faucets and fixtures
Many Utah homes naturally sit at 90–150 PSI — far above the recommended 55–75 PSI. High pressure is one of the leading causes of leaks and plumbing failures.
Why Moen Flo Is a Must-Have for Modern Homes
The Moen Flo is a smart leak detection system that:
- Monitors your home’s water usage 24/7
- Detects leaks instantly
- Sends alerts to your phone
- Automatically shuts off your water during emergencies
- Helps prevent catastrophic damage
It’s like having a security system for your plumbing.
The PRV + Moen Flo Combo: The Ultimate Defense
When paired together, these systems offer:
1. Protection Against Pressure Damage
The PRV keeps your pipes safe and your fixtures lasting longer.
2. Real-Time Leak Detection
Moen Flo catches problems before they turn into disasters.
3. Automatic Shutoff During Emergencies
If a line bursts while you’re away, your home won’t flood.
4. Lower Repair Costs
Prevention is always cheaper than restorative repairs.
5. Peace of Mind
Whether you’re traveling or just asleep, your home is protected.

Call Valley Construction if you notice:

A failing PRV is often an early warning sign of bigger issues.
