What Do Automatic Shutoff Valves Do?
Automatic water shutoff systems provide you complete control over the flow of water coming into your home, even when you’re away. An automatic water shutoff system will stop the flow of water and reduce damage if there is a water leak in your home, protecting your house and valuables. We have systems with water sensors that can be installed next to appliances such as water heaters and dishwashers – when water is detected from an appliance, water is turned off, providing additional protection against water damage. Automatic water shutoff systems are so sensitive that they can detect even the smallest of leaks, such as pinhole leaks in pipes. Homeowners insurance companies recommend automatic shutoff systems and sometimes even require them to grant coverage. Having a system installed provides you the peace of mind of knowing your home is protected from major water damage 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, even when you’re gone on vacation!
Automatic gas shutoff valves automatically shut off a building's natural gas or propane supply during a significant seismic event (5.4 magnitude or higher) to prevent fires and explosions. These, often referred to as seismic or earthquake valves, use an internal steel ball that drops to block the gas line when it detects strong shaking. Most Californians live within 30 miles of a fault line and according to the US Geological Survey, California experiences an average of 10,000 earthquakes each year. The California Earthquake Authority estimates that a magnitude 7.8 earthquake along the San Andreas Fault could result in a significant number of gas leaks.
Seismic Gas Shut-Off Valves offer peace of mind and an added layer of protection for your home and family.
Save on Your Homeowner’s Insurance
Not all homeowner’s insurance policies and coverage are the same. Some might cover water damage due to flooding, but what type of flooding? Will it cover water damage from a burst pipe or water heater? Many different insurances offer discounts to homeowners if a detection or monitoring system is placed in the home, alerting them when water is detected.
