Quick Tips: How to Winterize the Outside of Your Home

With colder weather upon us, frozen pipes can lead to property damage and costly repairs.

Protect your pipes with these simple tips:

Caulk around pipes where they enter your house.

If you have a shut-off valve for outside faucets, turn off & drain for the winter months.

Disconnect garden hoses and drain in-ground irrigation systems according to manufac-

ture’s instructions.

Wrap, cover and insulate outside faucets and yard hydrants.

Winterize and insulate inside both your meter and DCVA box. Straw or cedar shavings

are good insulators to prevent freezing.
