Here are a few tips to keep your pipes from freezing during the winter.
1- Drain the water from the swimming pool and sprinkler supply lines according to the manufacturer’s or installer’s instructions.
2- Avoid antifreeze which is hazardous to the environment and humans, pets, animals, and landscaping.
3- Outside hoses should be removed, drained, and stored.
4- Close the interior valves that supply outside hose bibs.
5- Allow water to drain out of your exterior hose bibs. Keep the outer valve open, so any residual water in the pipe can expand without breaking it.
6- Insulate areas such as attics, basements, and crawl spaces to keep home regions at higher temperatures.
