When a significant earthquake occurs, the immediate aftermath is often a preventable hazard: post-earthquake gas fires and explosions caused by ruptured gas lines. An earthquake valve — also called a seismic valve or seismic gas shut off valve — stops that from happening. Installed on a building’s main gas line, it detects ground motion and automatically closes, isolating the gas supply immediately without requiring any human action.

Baron Utilities installs, inspects, and resets earthquake valves for commercial, industrial, and institutional clients throughout California. We install these weekly for clients ranging from global manufacturing companies and major food production operations to university campuses, NASA facilities, Cal Fire, the California Highway Patrol, and U.S. Army and Air Force installations. Many of our commercial installations are insurance-driven, and we are fully familiar with insurance documentation requirements and provide a complete documentation package with every installation.

Being the top seismic valve installer in California, Baron Utilities can also manufacture seismic valves for systems operating above 60 PSI or have gas pipes larger than 10 inches in diameter, which is something that no seismic valve manufacturer can do.
