Levittown, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/21/2018 -- Ben Franklin Levittown, a plumbing company that serves Bala Cynwyd and the surrounding areas, suggests that homeowners perform seasonal maintenance to prevent floods from leaks and inclement weather. By taking some preventative measures, homeowners may avoid extensive damage to their homes and plumbing systems. The plumbing company suggests that they clear their gutters, ensure that their plumbing systems work properly, and schedule an appointment for a professional to effectively safeguard their property from water damage.

As the weather grows nicer, homeowners should take the time to clean debris like leaves and twigs from their storm drains, gutters, and downspouts. As they do, they can also check for obstructions in their plumbing vents, like bird nests. Additionally, homeowners should test their sump pumps to make sure that they function properly. By pouring a few gallons of water into the sump pit, they can observe its effectiveness. If it does not behave as expected, they should have it repaired or replaced at the first opportunity.

While homeowners do their yard work, they should check their outside pipes and faucets for signs of winter damage, like cracking. Leaks from faulty plumbing are just as likely to cause flooding as bad weather. To ensure that they have addressed any potential plumbing issues, homeowners should make an appointment with a professional plumber. Besides looking for hard-to-detect issues, the plumber can also perform preventative maintenance, reducing the likelihood of problems occurring later on.
