Levittown, PA -- (SBWire) -- 02/07/2017 --Although this winter has been mild so far, the threat of pipes freezing in uninsulated areas of a home is very real. It is important to keep in mind the extent of the damages that can arise from pipes that are left unattended in freezing weather. Instead of hesitating, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Levittown wants to protect homeowner's plumbing with a few tips.

Aside from taking care of water treatment in Bucks County, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Levittown stresses the importance of dripping the furthest sink or faucet when the weather drops below freezing. By doing this, the built up pressure in pipes will be relieved, giving them less of a chance of rupturing.

It is also wise to use a space heater in areas where there is unprotected or exposed piping. By simply heating up the area above freezing, the plumbing will be protected from the colder weather. Space heaters can also be used in accordance with opening cabinet doors. The uninsulated kitchen piping can then be thoroughly warmed up to prevent freezing.

When in doubt, turn off the water. If homeowners are leaving the house unoccupied or when the household is going to sleep for the night, it is always best to turn the water off and ease the mind. When the water is off, only the current amount in each pipe can cause any spillage or damage.

While these tips are not foolproof, they can certainly help prevent a costly disaster from happening. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Levittown does not promise your pipes will not freeze, but they are always available for assistance. Also taking care of water softening in Bucks County, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Levittown wants to ensure that a homeowner's plumbing is always at 100%.
