Winter is coming, are you ready?
October is an important time to help prepare your landscape and irrigation system for the cold months ahead. Here are some tips to ensure your yard is ready to weather the winter:
- Take a rake to your lawn. Use the leaves you gather to create compost or cover cold-sensitive perennials.
- Do a round of tree, shrub, and perennial pruning to promote blooming and control growth. Shred the removed plant material to top off your compost piles.
- If you haven’t yet, winterize your sprinkler system to avoid a freeze-thaw-freeze cycle, which can create cracks and lead to leaks. Turn off the water, drain valves and use compressed air to blow remaining water out of lines.
- Garden hoses should be disconnected, drained, and rolled up for storage. While you’re at it, drain outdoor faucets and exposed pipes as added protection against freeze-related damage
12 Ways to Winterize Your Home and Prevent Broken Water Pipes This Winter
There are many things that homeowners can do to make the winter months more comfortable.
- Before winterizing your sprinkler system, check for leaks and broken sprinkler heads and have them repaired to expedite your spring irrigation.
- Winterizing your sprinkler system is simple: turn water off, drain valves, and blow out with compressed air.
- Drain and disconnect your swamp cooler before temperatures drop below freezing.
- Clean your gutters; once the leaves fall, remove debris and rinse with a garden hose so melting snow and rain can drain properly.
- Clogged drains can cause water to pool and freeze, producing hazardous conditions.
- Make sure that garden hoses are disconnected from outside faucets.
- Check your furnace to make sure it’s working before the cold days of winter descend and don’t forget to change the filters.
- Insulate any gaps between the foundation and the framing of homes and insulate areas that have water pipes in outside walls to help protect against freezing.
- Seal outside leaks with weather-resistant caulk. Use masonry sealer for brick areas, which withstands the elements of weather.
- Remove screens and replace with storm windows.
- Insulated covers for outside faucets are available at hardware stores.
- Reversing your ceiling fan will push warm air down forcing it to recirculate; Blades should be turning clockwise.
- Keeping garage doors closed during very cold weather will help to prevent water pipes above the garage or in garage walls from freezing.
