Winterize Plumbing

• Set home thermostats above 55 degrees during cold weather.

• Drip cold water in farthest faucet from your main valve. Moving water keeps pipes from freezing.

• Find shut off valves for emergencies.

• Insulate pipes in unheated areas.

• Open cupboards and vanities to warm pipes.

• Close inside valves that control the water supply.

• Open the outside spigots to allow to drain water out.

• Keep outsides valve open so water remaining in the pipe can expand without causing a break.

• When freezing weather is coming, turn off water to outside spigots and drain all water from the line.
