How to Winterize Your Home — Payson, Utah

Install foam pipe insulation on exposed pipes in garages, crawl spaces, basements, and attics.

Remove hoses from outdoor faucets, drain them, and store indoors. Install insulated faucet covers on hose bibs.

Use an air compressor to blow water out of sprinkler lines before winter. Most residential systems need 50-80 PSI to clear water from the lines and prevent freeze damage.

Check windows, doors, foundation sill plate, and where pipes/wires enter. Seal all gaps.

Measure current insulation depth. Add blown-in or batt insulation to reach recommended R-value for your zone.

Schedule professional inspection including heat exchanger check, burner cleaning, and safety control testing.

Prepare for power outages and severe weather with flashlights, batteries, water, blankets, non-perishable food, and a battery-powered radio. A well-stocked kit gives your household peace of mind.
