Close Your Outdoor Water Valves
With outdoor faucets, you must make sure that you close and turn off all outside valves. These are the most likely to freeze, due to being outside and directly exposed to the cold of Winter. Make sure that you also drain the faucet, you do not want any surprises!
Check For Leaks & Drips
Leaks and drips are a sign of a broken pipe. These are always a hassle to deal with and are even worse in the Winter.
