Protect Your Property with an Earthquake Natural Gas Shutoff Valve
Living in Southern California, earthquakes are a known risk. As property owners, there are specific steps we can take to protect ourselves in the event of seismic activity. One of these steps is the installation of an earthquake shutoff valve, which automatically shuts off natural gas service to your property when an earthquake occurs.
Earthquake Gas Shutoff Valve Repair & Installation
At A-1 Total Service Plumbing, your safety is our primary concern. If an earthquake occurs and your natural gas pipe is damaged, it may place you and your family in grave danger. Do not risk the potentially deadly hazards that leaking gas may present. Take preventative measures with a shutoff valve that will halt the flow of gas when necessary.
A Los Angeles plumber at our company can help with the following types of valves:
- Seismic Natural Gas Shutoff Valve: This valve is activated by sufficient seismic activity, typically an earthquake of 5.1 or higher, closing the gas line and stopping the flow of natural gas to your home.
- Excess-Flow Valve: This type of earthquake shutoff valve is activated when a significant leak or overpressure surge occurs. It will activate if such a leak or surge is detected in a pipe or even where an appliance is located beyond the location of the valve.
When it comes to natural gas, safety is crucial. A properly installed shutoff valve can make all the difference in your wellbeing and the safety of your property. Our team of licensed plumbers serves residential, commercial, and industrial property owners across the greater Los Angeles area, including in Torrance, Pico Rivera, Downey, and Cerritos.
