How Earthquake Shut-Off Valves Work
An earthquake shut-off valve, also known as a seismic valve, is an automatic safety feature that turns off gas flow to a home or commercial property during an earthquake. The valve is installed on the gas meter of your property and turns off the gas when it registers an earthquake above 5.4 to prevent explosions and fires that result from broken gas lines during earthquakes.
- Prevent loss of life in fires or explosions after an earthquake
- Prevent loss of your valuables and sentimental possessions
- Some homeowners insurance companies offer a discount when a valve is installed
- You can shut off the valve any time that you smell a gas leak
- Peace of mind in knowing that your home is protected, even if you are not home
These valves have grown increasingly popular in California homes and businesses to enhance safety during earthquakes. Some municipalities have begun to require the installation of earthquake shut-off valves. Whether you are required by law to install a valve or just want to ensure that your home or business is protected, a Los Angeles gas line plumber from Red Lilly Plumbing can help.
Types of Earthquake Shut-Off Valves
There are two main earthquake shutoff valve types: EFV and SGV. EFV (Emergency Facilitated Valve) is a dual-sensing earthquake shutoff valve that identifies a draw on the water pressure in both directions, while SGV (Seismic Gas Valve) responds to shock or vibration created by an earthquake. The difference between EFV and SGV is that EFV responds to changes in water pressure, while SGV is reactive to seismic shocks or vibrations. If you're looking to select the best option for your home, trust the plumbers at Red Lilly Plumbing to assist in your installation process!
Precision Seismic Valve Installation
Earthquake shut-off valves should only be installed by qualified plumbers with the training and experience to make sure the valve is properly connected. After an earthquake, the manufacturers of shut-off valves recommend having a qualified contractor conduct a leak check before resetting the valve to ensure the gas lines in the building are not damaged.
The first step to ensuring that your residential or commercial property is protected is to call (323) 319-4102 for a free estimate.

“As owner of a Hollywood Hills house built in 1956, I have called on Red Lilly for multiple major plumbing projects-- from repairing and restoring a broken gutter line, to completely repiping of our main sewer line. In every case, Giovanni Torreschico and his excellent foreman Juan Perez have provided clear and detailed explanations of our plumbing predicaments, specific scope-of-service contracts, and excellent client service. I've researched comparison prices and am confident that Red Lilly's bids are fair, honest and an excellent value. Red Lilly's technicians have always been professional and courteous, and each has clearly mastered many skills. In our sewer line replacement, for example, Red Lilly's crew was qualified to jack hammer through concrete, replace piping, and resurface our garage. Giovanni oversees everyone's work, and he is quick to offer cost-efficient solutions when appropriate. Everyone in the company--including administrative staff such as Giovanni's wife Brenda--works as part of an efficient and smoothly operated team.”D.M. Osborne Hollywood, CA

“Red Lilly is so great!! Joey was the plumber that came and he was so helpful, competent and personable. My shower drain has been driving me crazy and my building won't fix it as they say plumbing it's the tenant's responsibility. So I had to call my own plumber and thank goodness I called Red Lilly - they took care if it quickly and affordably. They were also on time for the appointment which was a relief as I'm always so busy. I'd highly recommend them!”Chenoa M.
