Winterizing pipes for colder temperatures

Posted by Staff on Tuesday, January 9, 2024

From the Village of Ada website www.adaoh.org/ 

Before the temperatures drop below freezing, prepare pipes using these simple tips that could potentially save thousands of dollars in water damage repairs.

Locate and exercise the master water shut-off valve. The valve is usually located where the water line enters the house – sometimes near the water heater or washing machine. Once the valve is located, make sure all household members know where it is and exercise it regularly so it can easily be shut off in case of an emergency.

Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses. Before freezing temperatures strike, it is important to disconnect and drain outdoor hoses. This allows the water to drain from the pipe so an overnight freeze doesn’t burst the faucet or the pipe it’s connected to.
