Don't let this happen to you! Have a Seismic Gas Shutoff Valve installed.
The lateral forces associated with a major earthquake all too often damage the integrity of gas line supplies to homes and businesses. The gases that escape damaged gas lines provide ample fuel to lead to dangerous explosions and fires. Typically, this gas flow continues- a situation that is worsened by delayed emergency response services. Natural Gas fires due to line breaks following earthquakes are responsible for as much as 50 % of the fire damage caused during earthquakes. Fires are often the single biggest cause of damage done during earthquakes.
Seismic Gas Shutoff Valve's offer peace of mind
We can't choose when an earthquake will happen. SGSV's offer the peace of mind that your home or business will be protected from gas line leaks even if you are not present at the time of an earthquake. When properly installed, SGSV's shut off the structures gas supply in the event of an earthquake large enough to damage gas lines. SGSV's can easily be reset to return the gas supply to the structure.
