Seismic Gas Shutoff Valves
A gas shutoff valve is designed to stop the flow of natural gas to your home in an emergency. Seismic models detect ground movement and automatically close, which can help prevent fires or explosions after an earthquake. We install a code-compliant valve directly on your gas main and ensure it is properly mounted and tested. Once complete, we provide you with a Certificate of Installation that you can submit to your insurance company.
Moen Flo Automatic Water Shutoff Valves
Water damage is one of the most common and expensive home insurance claims. The Moen Flo is a connected water shutoff device that monitors your water system, detects leaks, and can automatically shut off water to your home. We install the valve on your main water line and connect it to the Moen app so you can track usage and receive alerts in real-time. Moen Flo valves come in different sizes to match your plumbing, so the cost of the valve itself depends on the model you need. We do not upcharge the cost of the unit; that cost is passed on to you directly from our supplier.

If your insurer has requested proof of installation, we can provide all required documentation. Our licensed team handles everything from sizing and sourcing the right device to testing and final sign-off.
The Importance of Safety Devices
Safety devices are not just a requirement; they are essential for protecting your home and family. In the San Francisco Bay Area, where earthquakes are a real threat, having a seismic gas shutoff valve can save lives. It’s a small investment for peace of mind.
Moreover, water damage can lead to mold and structural issues. By installing a Moen Flo automatic water shutoff valve, you can catch leaks early and prevent extensive damage. This proactive approach is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your home.
