Hey BP, i hope all of you are staying warm, it's 15 Degrees here in VA and i wanted to share a video I made recently. I went into a house to look at buying it and I heard a river sound as I was walking up to the door. When we opened the door, all I saw as a lake in the living rm. Enjoy this short lesson and don't forget to turn water off at vacant houses... click the link for the video below

Good tip, good topic. We suggest that you not only turn off the water source but drain the system as well. Turn on the faucets inside and out to remove water the system as this will reduce the problem even further. We put anti-freeze (safe type) in water tanks, traps and toilet bowls to reduce the problem even further. Additional food for thought.
