You should have already shut off and drained your outside water taps for the winter. Make sure you drain the lines completely as follows:

1. Shut off the outside tap and remove any hoses or extensions.

2. Go inside and shut off the tap in the basement.

3. Drain the lines completely by opening the bleeder valve on the tap, see photo. If the pipe slopes downward to the exterior you may not need this step.

4. Close the outside valve to prevent cold air from entering the tap.

You are done!
