Barring an Indian summer, it’s time to get your sprinkler system, hoses, and outdoor spigots ready for winter. Prolonged freezes may be rare in the Mid-Atlantic region, but they do happen and can easily cause broken pipes in your home or yard. Here are steps you should take now to avoid a wet winter later.
- Turn off the water supply to your sprinklers and outdoor faucets.
- Open spigots an turn on sprinklers to drain remaining water.
- Drain hoses and store them in a dry place.
- Use an air compressor to blow the remaining water out of your sprinklers.
