MoisturePilot pairs precision soil sensors with AI pattern detection, CRM, payments and a permanent Property Health Passport — so homeowners, pros and foundation companies nationwide catch water risk early.
Wet clay swells and lifts. Dry clay shrinks and drops. That cycle — season after season — is the leading driver of foundation failure across the United States.
Saturated clay expands and pushes up — up to ~20,000 psf — heaving one side of the slab unevenly.
Drought pulls moisture out; soil contracts and leaves voids. The foundation settles into the gaps.
One side wet, the other dry — the imbalance racks the structure, cracking brick, drywall and slab.
Foundation repair runs into five figures. Catching drainage, a slow leak, or dry-out early is the difference between a downspout fix and a pier job.
No black-box "sensor high." Every alert shows its reasoning, ranks the likely source, and tells you exactly what to do.
Held above the learned 24–33% baseline for 5 days; rose +11 pts then plateaued — no rapid spike.
Exterior control rose first, then rear perimeter, then rear-center — entering from the rear, moving inward.
Normal recovery is 42h; it's been 118h — past threshold. Recommend a drainage inspection before backfill.
Field-proven sensing hardware feeds a learning engine that separates rain from irrigation from plumbing — and tells you what to do next.
8–16 soil probes at plumbing zones, corners, low points and an exterior control — mapped to the real home.
A MoisturePilot Hub collects moisture, soil temp and EC every 70 seconds over Ethernet or Wi-Fi, with SD backup.
A 30–60 day learning period sets each sensor's normal range, so 45% at one home isn't judged like another.
Explainable alerts rank the likely source, show how water moved, and recommend the next action.
More than "wet soil" warnings — a full operating system for property moisture, repair and customer relationships.
Moisture, soil temp and EC per named location. Property map, thresholds, and imbalance detection across every channel.
Rain vs irrigation vs plumbing vs HVAC vs drainage — classified with confidence, rate-of-change and neighbor comparison.
Every alert answers what, where, how fast, is-it-rain, likely source, confidence and next step. Advisory → Critical.
A permanent, transferable record — repairs, permits, warranties, sensor history and moisture events. Owner-controlled sharing.
Leads → inspection → estimate → approved → job. Drag-and-drop board, lead detail, messaging and inspection booking.
Multi-invoice checkout, Apple Pay, Stripe Connect payouts, subscriptions and overdue tracking — homeowner and operator side.
Drainage, engineer packages, warranty compliance, property-sale and monthly reports — measurements kept separate from opinion.

Combined with location, rainfall and neighboring sensors, soil-sensor data separates true risks from noise — always "possible," never "confirmed" without inspection.
Rapid rise, no rain, stable exterior control, abnormal whole-house flow → critical alert.
Exterior rises first, then perimeter; concentrates at the downspout and lingers.
Repeating schedule, no rainfall, one zone — but each cycle lasts longer than the last.
Predictable daily rise near the drain that recovers overnight — learned, so it won't false-alarm.
Tree-side soil drying 3× faster; side-to-side gap widening past the learned range.
Before/after wet-duration and balance prove a French drain or leak fix actually worked.
A permanent digital record of everything that matters beneath a property — foundation type, soil, plumbing routes, repairs, permits, warranties, elevation surveys, sensor history and every moisture event.
MoisturePilot earns trust first. Anyone can use these tools today — then upgrade to live sensors when ready.
Answer 10 questions, get an educational risk read — not a diagnosis.
Photograph a crack, realign later, and see whether it's changing.
Rainfall + soil + shade inputs suggest when to check the foundation.
Store your main-shutoff photo & location before a leak ever happens.
From someone curious about a crack to a company managing lifetime warranties across 200 rentals.
"It flagged a rear-yard drainage problem weeks before we'd have seen a crack. We fixed a downspout instead of piers."
"The passport and warranty transfer close deals. Buyers trust a property with a documented moisture history."
"White-label monitoring plus warranty automation cut our annual-inspection no-shows and drives repeat service."

Neighborhood insights never expose an individual property.
One inspection sees one day. Expansive clay causes damage across weeks of wet/dry cycling.
No. The MP-S1 soil probe detects significant water when it changes the surrounding soil, so alerts are phrased as "possible plumbing event," "rain-related pattern" or "possible drainage intrusion." A physical inspection or plumbing test confirms the cause — MoisturePilot points you to the right zone and the right professional.
No. The free tier includes a foundation risk quiz, crack and symptom trackers, a maintenance calendar, watering planner and emergency-shutoff guide. Add soil sensors later and the same app becomes a live monitoring system.
Expansive clay moves continuously. A single inspection is a snapshot; continuous soil-moisture data reveals imbalance, drainage failures and slow leaks that never show up on the day an inspector visits.
Your hardware keeps working. You retain current readings, the property map, basic alerts, local history and data export. Membership adds advanced classification, professional monitoring, reports and the annual inspection — but the sensors are yours.
A 30–60 day learning period establishes each sensor's baseline range, drying rate, rain response and seasonal profile. Alerts are judged against your property's own normal — not a universal threshold — because 45% moisture can be normal at one home and alarming at another.
Yes. The Professional tier is white-label: your logo, colors, report templates, membership plans and warranty requirements on top of the MoisturePilot platform, with team accounts, work orders and API access.
Common signs include new cracks in drywall, brick or the slab, doors and windows that stick, sloping or uneven floors, and gaps opening around window frames. These usually appear weeks after the soil around the foundation has already been moving. MoisturePilot watches the soil-moisture patterns that drive that movement — drainage intrusion, a slow plumbing leak or drought shrinkage — so you can act before it becomes a visible crack.
Foundation repair in the U.S. typically ranges from about $2,000 for minor crack sealing to $10,000–$30,000+ for pier installation or slab jacking, depending on soil, access and severity. Catching a drainage or plumbing problem early — while it is still a moisture pattern and not structural movement — is by far the cheapest outcome, which is the entire point of continuous monitoring.
Usually not when the cause is expansive-clay soil movement, settling or poor drainage — those are typically excluded. Sudden damage from a covered event, such as an accidental plumbing burst under the slab, may be covered. Either way, MoisturePilot's timestamped moisture history and documented alerts give you and your adjuster a clear record of what changed and when.
During dry spells, keeping the soil around a slab evenly moist prevents the shrink-swell cycle that cracks foundations — but soaking one side is just as harmful. MoisturePilot's watering planner uses your sensors plus local weather to tell you which sides need water, when to skip it because rain is coming, and where the ground is already too wet.
Wireless soil probes read moisture, temperature and conductivity a few inches down at each corner and plumbing zone. When one area stays wet after the rest has dried, rises with no rain, or dries far faster than its neighbors, that imbalance is the early signal of drainage, plumbing or drought stress — long before the slab moves enough to crack the house.
