Freeze Protection — real answers.

How do I winterize outdoor faucets in Washington?

Disconnect every garden hose, drain each hose bib by shutting off the interior stop valve and opening the outdoor spigot to drain, then cover with an insulated foam faucet cover. A leftover garden hose is the #1 cause of burst pipes in the PNW — the water in the hose freezes back into the wall and splits the pipe.
