An earthquake can happen at any time — and when it does, broken gas lines pose one of the greatest safety hazards. Our seismic shut-off valves automatically close the gas line the moment they detect shaking at or above a specific intensity. This quick action prevents potential fires, explosions, and toxic leaks, giving you peace of mind when it matters most.
At Water Heater Genius, we use only high-quality, code-approved valves tested for durability and precision. Our technicians will inspect your existing gas line, install the valve at the correct location, and ensure your entire system is secure and functioning properly. Safety is at the heart of everything we do — and our earthquake valve installations are no exception.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an earthquake shut-off valve do?
It automatically shuts off your natural gas supply when significant shaking is detected, preventing dangerous leaks or fires after an earthquake.
Are earthquake valves required by law?
In many parts of Southern California, including Los Angeles and nearby cities, earthquake valves are required for new construction, major remodels, and when selling a property. Our team ensures your installation meets all local regulations.
How often should my earthquake valve be replaced or serviced?
Most valves last 20 years or more, but they should be inspected periodically — especially after an earthquake or if you suspect damage to your gas line.
Can I install an earthquake valve myself?
No — installation must be performed by a licensed professional to ensure proper placement, leak testing, and compliance with California safety codes. DIY installation can be dangerous and may void insurance or inspection approvals.
