Water Heaters, Natural Gas and Propane Lines, and Appliances, Are at Risk During an Earthquake
Do homes and businesses need earthquake shut off valves? The simple answer is yes! Especially if the property is in San Diego County, where it isn’t a question of IF an earthquake will happen, but WHEN?
Earthquake safety measures are crucial to protecting your home or business from fires, explosions, and gas leaks in the event of seismic shifting. Even small earthquakes can do damage to propane and natural gas appliances causing leaks and/or fires.
Mann Plumbing installs Seismic Automated Safety Gas Shut Off Valves and Water Heater Earthquake Straps for San Diego County
Mann Plumbing adheres to all uniform plumbing code, including gas safety. Automatic seismic shut off valves work as the name suggests, by shutting off natural or propane gas supply in the event of even small tremors. At the first tremor or shake, the seismic earthquake safety valve shuts closing off all natural gas and propane supply.
Home and business owners can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their property will be protected in the event of an earthquake, whether present or not.
In addition to seismic earthquake shut off valves, Mann Plumbing will ensure that your residential or commercial water heater is also properly earthquake strapped, even if we did not install the system. It is required by uniform plumbing code to have the proper earthquake straps installed in strict placement on natural gas water heaters.
Earthquake strapping is another way to prevent gas leaks by safely keeping water heaters in place in the event of seismic activity.
Even with best efforts, gas leaks might occur after an earthquake or any time. If you suspect a you might have a natural gas or propane leak, these are possible indications
- Sulfuric or rotten egg smell
- Hissing sound near gas lines
- Bubbling in groundwater
- Headaches, nausea, vomiting
At the first indication of a gas or propane leak, it is suggested that you safely leave the property. Make sure not to use phones inside or any appliance that may cause a spark, do not unplugging any electrical items.
If you have a natural gas or propane leak, SDG&E and Mann Plumbing will work together to locate, repair and safely turn the gas back on to the property.
