What Plumbers Check at Their Own Houses BEFORE the First Hard Freeze (You Should too!)

Worried about frozen pipes this winter? Here's the 5-minute plan plumbers follow at their own houses, in the order they'd do it, plus the one thing about thawing that almost nobody knows until they're standing in it. You'll learn how to find and test your main water shutoff, what to do about outdoor hose spigots, why open cabinet doors matter, where to look for exposed pipes, how to drip a faucet the right way, and what plumbers would never do to a frozen pipe. Everything is sorted into what you can do yourself, what to just look at and photograph, and what to leave to a pro, with the exact question to ask them. If this helped, a like and a subscribe means a lot, and tell me in the comments what part of the country you're in and where your shutoff turned out to be hiding.
