Prevent winter freeze disasters with this step-by-step plumbing winterization guide designed specifically for North Texas homeowners.
Essential Pre-Freeze Plumbing Tasks
1. Disconnect and drain all exterior garden hoses. 2. Install heavy-duty insulated foam covers over all outdoor spigots. 3. Wrap exposed copper and CPVC pipes in unconditioned garages and attics with R-4 closed-cell foam insulation. 4. Test your main water shutoff valve to ensure it turns freely in an emergency.
