Vacant house, should I shut water off?
Deceased Step dads house. We live in New England. The house is empty now and
I stopped by last night and the furnace was not working. I relit the pilot light and got it working again but we are concerned that it may go out again and we cannot get to the house every day to check. Temps were down to 18 degrees last night. I'm thinking of shutting the water off and leaving the faucets open to avoid any pipes freezing and bursting. Would there be any downside to shutting the main water off? Heat is forced hot air. Thanks Steve |
