Do this NOW before it Freezes!!! Drain & Winterize Your Hose Bib- Prevent Leaks in Pipes that Burst

Every fall, you should be draining out all of the water in your hose bib (also known as silcocks or outside faucets) before winter freezing temperatures set in. If you do not drain all of the water out of your exterior faucet, it is going to freeze if the temperature drops below 32°F or 0°C. Frozen pipes are one of the leading cause of plumbing leaks because as the water turns into ice, it expands and bursts the pipes open. This task is something every homeowner in cold weather climates should know how to do!
