During an earthquake, gas lines can crack or break, leading to dangerous leaks that may ignite and cause extensive damage. Installing a Natural Gas Earthquake Safety Valve helps safeguard your home by automatically shutting off the gas supply when seismic activity is detected, reducing the risk of house fires and explosions.

How an Earthquake Safety Valve Works

• • Automatic Shutoff
    When the valve senses significant shaking, it promptly cuts off the flow of natural gas to your home.
  • Easy Reset
    Once the danger has passed and the system is deemed safe, you can follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to reset the valve and restore gas service.
  • Horizontal Valves
    We typically install 3/4”-1” horizontal valves, but can quote larger or vertical valve installations upon request.

Why Install a Natural Gas Earthquake Safety Valve?

• • Insurance & Utility Recommended
    Many insurance companies and gas utilities advise homeowners to install earthquake safety valves, often offering incentives or requiring them for certain coverage plans.
  • Peace of Mind
    Earthquakes can strike without warning. Having an automatic shutoff in place means you won’t have to scramble to find and turn off the main gas line in the midst of an emergency.
  • Protect Your Loved Ones
    A sudden gas leak can quickly escalate into a life-threatening situation. By acting as a first line of defense, these valves help keep your family and property secure.
  • Know Your Manual Shutoff
    Even with an automatic valve, it’s crucial that every family member understands how to manually shut off the gas in case of a non-seismic issue or valve malfunction.
