When the Big One Hits, Will Your Family Be Safe?

The last thing you want to worry about when the “big one” hits is whether your gas line is leaking. That’s why I am so pleased that Barker and Sons Plumbing is offering all of its customers a really great safety device that can help reduce damage (and even save lives) in the event of an earthquake measuring greater than 5.4. It’s called an Earthquake Shutoff Valve and it will shut off your gas line in the case of a leak caused by an earthquake or another catastrophic event.

Natural gas leaks are just so dangerous in the first place. An Earthquake Shutoff Valve is designed to reduce the chance of explosions and fire cause by leaking gas. In case you are trapped or not at home to shut the gas off yourself, this device will automatically shut your gas line off. The good news it’s relatively inexpensive and can quickly be installed by our team of licensed professionals. It works on natural gas as well as propane.

You may even save money on your home insurance after you’ve had one installed.

I sleep easier at night knowing we have an Earthquake Shutoff Valve installed in our home. I don’t like to rely on public safety services after a disaster. They’ll be busy saving lives and handling a multitude of emergencies. Be prepared before the “big one” strikes and take steps to get your home protected. Give us a call so you can get yours installed today.
