Here's an expanded "Tips for Winterizing Your Plumbing in Boston, MA" section for the Boston, MA copy. Each tip is enhanced with additional detail to make it more practical and actionable for homeowners.

Insulate Exposed Pipes

Exposed pipes in basements, crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls are highly vulnerable to freezing temperatures. Use foam pipe insulation or wrap pipes in heat tape to protect them from the cold. Ensuring that these areas are well-insulated can further prevent freezing. If the weather is forecasted to drop significantly, consider leaving a small trickle of water running from faucets connected to exposed pipes, as the moving water is less likely to freeze.

Disconnect and Drain Outdoor Hoses

Leaving hoses attached to outdoor faucets can trap water, which can freeze and expand, potentially causing pipes to burst. Disconnect and drain all hoses, then store them indoors during winter. It’s also helpful to shut off the water supply to outdoor faucets if they have a dedicated valve and open the faucet to drain any residual water. Consider installing insulated faucet covers for added protection against the cold.

Seal Gaps and Cracks

Small gaps and cracks around doors, windows, and foundations can allow cold air to seep into your home and affect your pipes. Use caulk or weather stripping to seal any openings that could allow drafts near pipes or water lines. This simple step not only protects your plumbing but can also improve your home’s energy efficiency by keeping warm air inside and cold air out.

Maintain a Consistent Indoor Temperature

Keeping your thermostat set at a consistent temperature, especially during extremely cold weather, can help prevent pipes from freezing. Even if you're leaving home for an extended period, set your thermostat to no lower than 55°F to ensure a steady warmth. For areas with plumbing but poor heating, such as basements, consider using a portable heater to keep pipes warm, but always prioritize safety and avoid leaving heaters unattended.

Know Where Your Main Shut-Off Valve Is Located

If a pipe does burst, knowing where your main water shut-off valve is located can prevent extensive water damage. Familiarize yourself with its location, typically near the water meter or along an exterior wall. In an emergency, quickly shutting off the water supply can protect your home and give you time to call a plumber for assistance. Consider labeling the shut-off valve and practicing how to operate it to be prepared in a crisis.
