Earthquake Shut-Off Valves – Schuelke Plumbing Installs

Here in southern California we must be prepared for earthquakes at all times. During the past six months Los Angeles has had two minor earthquakes. While we are all aware that this will occur from time to time, many of us simply do not have all of the necessary precautions in place. One of the best precautions you can take is to have earthquake shut-off valves installed.

Schuelke Plumbing recommends that you have this system installed in your home, as well as in any commercial property you are responsible for. These shut-off valves will help to prevent explosions after an earthquake measuring 5.4 or greater on the Richter scale. The valve will sense and measure the intensity of the earthquake, and then automatically shut off the gas supply at that location. Plumbers are the best professionals to do this job right. Call us today so that you can protect your property when the next ‘big one’ affects our area.
