Anti-Freeze Pipe Help for the Homestead -The Jester






Guys, winter will eventually be here! I know we all winterize differently depending on where we are , the big tips I can give for the central states are

1 Unscrew your garden hoses(can't tell you how many flooded basements calls I've had because of this one?

2 If you have RV's or any other un climate controlled restrooms, dump some antifreeze down the sinks and anything else with a sewer trap on it.

3 Wrapping outside hydrants like the one below with anything doesn't help, Check out the pic for how they work, Unhook the hose to allow the water to drain out.

4 Shut your foundation vents. Keep that heat in your crawl spaces.

Those are the big ones I can think of off hand. Chime in with what you do beyond this in your areas!
