Re: Winterizing & Summerizing for Snowbirds
A lot of homes have a drain somewhere in the basement or crawl space that allows you to "gravity" drain the water lines. Just close the valve on the line coming into your home and open the drain, it should empty all water out of lines. Don't forget to empty your toilet tanks and bowls too. The most important thing though is to turn the water off, that way even if something does go wrong and cracks/bursts the damage will be pretty limited. If you're leaving your home heated I'd recommend picking up a Freeze Alarm too, they're pretty cheap and let you check in any time you want to get a real time temp. reading at your home. We use this one http://www.absoluteautomation.com/freezealarm/fai/index.html - and love it.1KViews0likes0Comments
