Drain the faucets- Cold taps first

3/2/2021 (Permalink)

Once the water supply has been turned off, open your faucets to drain the remaining cold water from the system. (This means flushing your toilets multiples times, too.) This will also reduce the chance of leftover water freezing inside the pipes. Fun fact: it also relieves some of the pent-up pressure in the pipe! 

Now shut off your water boiler and heating system and release all the water from your hot taps.

Let the warm air in

If your pipe burst or froze from cold weather, let some warm air in. After draining the remaining water from your taps, you might want to turn the heat back on and hike up thermostat, or simply train a hair dryer on the pipe in question. At the very least, do your pipes a solid and open up the cabinet doors where they live to let the warm air circulate.
