Winterizing A Vacation Home
By Mark J. Donovan, Fri Dec 9th
Unlike winterizing your main home, winterizing a vacation orsummer home effectively means closing down the home for thewinter. However, winterizing a vacation home or summer homereally only involves a few basic tasks that can be completed inabout a day by a homeowner. Shut off the Water System and Drain the Pipes Since most vacation or summer homes that are winterized will notbe heated, the most important task to perform is to turn off thewater system and drain the supply lines.
The water system can typically be turned off by simply throwingthe pump switch to the off position on the circuit panel. Somewells also have a mechanism several feet down that can be turnedoff to enable any water in the underground pipe to drain backinto the well. If your well has this mechanism, a tool shouldhave been provided by the water pump installer that allows youto do this. It is effectively a rod about 4 feet long with a Thandle at the top. Basically the rod is inserted into the wellhead and turns a valve to drain the water from the undergroundsupply line back into the well. Most wells do not require thishowever, as the ... article continues below the ad.

Tip: A log cabin is a small house built from logs. It is a fairly simple type of log house; they were built both in rural areas and in cities in timber-rich regions, around the world, but particularly in the northern hemisphere. ...
well supply line is located several feet underground. Thus it is safe from any frost concerns.Next, water should be drained from the supply lines. First turnthe faucets on, and leave them in the on position. Since water will and should remain in the toilet and sink traps,an anti-freeze solution must be added to them to preventfreezing and pipe cracking. Also, the toilet tank should bedrained of any water as well to prevent the tank from cracking. Turn off the Heating Supply Turn the heating system to the off position. Turning down thetemperature setting on the thermostat is not good enough. Theswitch at the furnace or the circuit panel should be turned tothe off position to ensure the furnace does not inadvertently goon during the winter months. Remove all Food that could Spoil or Freeze The refrigerator should be turned off, unplugged, and emptied ofall contents. Likewise, anything in the kitchen cabinets thatcould freeze or spoil should be removed. Unplug all Appliances To prevent the possibility of damage due to thunderstorms it isbest to unplug all appliances in the vacation home. Prevent Rodent Infestation Various rodents will attempt to get into your vacation homeduring the winter months. It is best to leave a few boxes ofDecon around the home to prevent them from taking up permanentresidence. Store Boats and Remove Pipe Docks All boats need to be removed from the water. Similar to thehome, all of the boats should be winterized as well. Once the boats have been removed, the entire dock should beremoved from the water and stored high up on shore. The pipesshould not be left in the water, as they will be damaged by theice. The damage frequently happens in the spring when "Ice Out"is occurring and large blocks, similar to ice bergs, shift andmove along the shore line. Rake Leaves and Debris Away from the Home It is important to rake the yard, with particular attention madeto removing leaves and other debris from around the foundation.Left to sit during the winter months, this material wouldotherwise become a collection area for ice and water, and becomea haven for small four legged friends. Properly Store away all outside Lawn and Yard Furniture andTools Clean all outside lawn and yard furniture and store it insidethe home or shed or garage. Likewise winterize the lawnmower andproperly store it away for the season. Finally lock up the home, enjoy the winter and think of warmweather in the spring.
