R Home Service Club offers an expert service properly winterizing your hose bibs as colder weather sets in.

By storing away your garden hose and ensuring that your outdoor faucets are properly shut off, you can prevent water from freezing in the supply line and causing damage. Don't let the first frost catch you off guard – trust R Home Service Club to help winterize your hose bibs to help you safeguard your outdoor plumbing system and avoid the headaches of dealing with frozen pipes.

5 Steps to Winterize your Hose Bibb’s

  • 1) Locate your shut-off valve. Your hose bibb’s shut-off valve will be inside your home, possibly in the basement, crawl space, or utility room.

  • 2) Shut off the indoor valve(s). Keep in mind that if you have more than one hose bibb, each will have its own corresponding shut-off valve to close.

  • 3) Detach your hoses. Next, you’ll need to detach your hoses from your spigots, making sure to drain them before putting them into storage.

  • 4) Store your hoses indoors. Keeping your hoses in heated garages or basements will protect them from damage caused by freezing temperatures outside and ensure they remain in good condition.

  • 5) Leave faucets open for the winter. Once you’ve removed the garden hoses, turn any outdoor faucets to the “on” position, leaving them open for the winter.
