#winterizing outside faucets

HOME MAINTENANCE TIP

Check your home's outside hose faucets for frost damage.

Someone should be inside to watch for leaks, while the outside faucets are turned on. Faucets installed by Martin Brothers are frost proof and should not freeze IF you remove garden hoses before the first frost in the fall. Follow the proper winterization procedure every fall for outside water lines: disconnect garden hoses, turn off water supply, drain the water line, and leave the outside valve open.
