Before the first hard freeze, identify the plumbing that sees the coldest air and decide whether the hot tub will stay in service or be winterized.

What to check
- Find and label the main water shutoff. Disconnect outdoor hoses and follow the setup for draining any isolated outdoor water lines.
- Check exposed plumbing in garages, crawl spaces and other cold areas. If a property will sit empty, plan how heat and water will be monitored.
- For the hot tub, follow the manufacturer’s winter instructions for your model. Ask for winterizing help if you plan to shut it down or cannot keep it powered and monitored.
When to stop
If a pipe bursts, shut off the water if the valve is safe to reach. Avoid open flames when dealing with a frozen pipe. Keep clear if water reaches outlets or equipment.
