Winterization

Winterizing pipes involves a series of steps that prepare a home's interior and exterior plumbing to withstand extreme cold temperatures without freezing, therefore protecting against devastating pipe bursts and leaks. As water freezes and becomes ice, it expands. The expansion quickly builds outward pressure within pipes, which can lead to pipe and fixture damage.

Winterization is critical if you're away from home for an extended period, like those who leave their primary residence during the winter and escape to a beachy vacation home. A key component of properly winterizing a vacant home is preventing water from running through the pipes. The less water within a pipe, the less likely it is to freeze and cause severe damage to your plumbing.
