Winter temperatures can cause adverse damage to the home and homeowners in Brooklyn and Manhattan and similar climates must realize the impact of taking preventative steps to prevent frozen pipe bursts. Petri Plumbing and Heating, Inc., a leading plumbing company serving Brooklyn since 1906, cautions New York City residents on the damage of frozen pipes and offers notable advice on how to prevent frozen pipes from bursting inside homeowners’ kitchens, bathrooms and other areas of the home.
“Though homeowners might find it a hassle to take proper precautions, taking the necessary steps to prevent your pipes from freezing cuts down the risk of a pipe burst during these cold temperatures,” said Michael Petri, owner of Petri Plumbing. “It will also save them a lot money in the long run.”
The interior areas to watch out specifically for frozen pipes are in residents’ kitchen, bathrooms and basement.
“Many times homeowners focus on the exterior parts of their home when preparing for winter,” said Chris Petri, operations and technician assistant. “While it is important to take proper precautions outside, there still needs to be a focus on the interior pipes as those can cause massive amounts of damage.”
