Types of Earthquake Shut-Off Devices We Can Install

We specialize in the professional installation of automatic gas shut-off devices in San Francisco to ensure maximum safety during seismic events. Our skilled installers work with the most reliable valves available.

We can install the following devices to protect your home:

  • Seismic/Motion-Sensitive Valves – These devices are the industry standard for earthquake protection. They are mechanical valves that detect ground shaking above a certain threshold and instantly shut off the gas. They operate without external power, making them highly reliable during power outages.
  • Excess Flow Valves – While not strictly earthquake sensors, these valves provide an added layer of protection. They activate if the gas flow suddenly exceeds normal limits, which would happen if a pipe completely bursts during an earthquake. Our friendly technicians ensure your main line and appliances are protected.

We will assess your property's specific needs to recommend and install the best valve size and type, ensuring compliance with all local codes.

The Benefits of Installing an Automatic Gas Shut-Off Device

Installing an earthquake shut-off valve is one of the most proactive steps you can take to protect your family and property from disaster.

These devices help:

  • Minimize Fire and Explosion Risk – The immediate shut off of the gas supply prevents gas from accumulating inside or around your home if pipes are fractured during a quake.
  • Save You Money on Repairs – By preventing a major gas leak and explosion, the valve avoids potentially catastrophic damage and incredibly costly structural repairs.
  • Provide Peace of Mind – Knowing this reliable device is standing guard 24/7 offers invaluable comfort in a seismically active region like the Bay Area.
  • Required by Code – Many cities and counties in the Bay Area, including San Francisco, legally require the installation of these devices when major gas line work is done on a property.

Installing this device is a small investment that provides huge protection against one of the greatest dangers posed by a major earthquake.
