Every winter
LandArc deals with emergencies where the owners have left for the winter but
have not properly winterized their units. If you plan to head south for the
winter, please review and follow these guidelines:
- Set your thermostat no less than 50 degrees. Any lower setting could cause frozen pipes and devastating damage.
- Draining the water heater and shutting off the water will serve as an extra measure against burst pipes.
- Winterize all exterior spigots by removing hoses, turning off the water, and draining the spigot from the outside.
- Leave a key with a neighbor and let LandArc know who to contact in an emergency.
- Keep doors open throughout the house to ensure heat gets to all areas of the house
- Keep cupboards doors open below sinks where plumbing lines are located
