This would be fine, but I do not have a shut off value inside my house. The best I can do is protect the exterior which I cover with great exterior products. Would appreciate a video with my situation.
@@RedHotCorvette Thank you for watching, that makes it a bit different for sure. Covering the whole exterior components as you mentioned is a great idea and very important as well. Most important thing is to ensure the exterior components are fully drained and covered and it sounds like you have made sure those steps are completed and completed properly. ☕️🧰

On the first shutt off valve, you can see the screw on little cap, That cap has a hole on the side, you need to unscrew it, the water from the part of the pipe that goes outside will drip from the hole. You need to empty any water that goes to the valve. from outside and inside. Some install might have an inward slope.

Are you sure we shouldn't just leave outside spigot open and label this on inside valve? Is there any different procedure for a frost free spigot versus a regular one? Don't some set ups have a little metal cap in the line somewhere inside that you crack to let the pipe fully drain? By label I side valve I wrap it with painters tape and add a message, outside tap is open so no one casually opens the inside valve. I think the old pre frost free spigot procedure is like I described... I'm less sure about the frost free spigots...
Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community. Depending on the age of your condo will depend on how and where the shutoff valve is installed. However if you live in an area where temperatures get close or below freezing during winter months, the shutoff valve will always be installed inside building or condo itself. In our case, the valve itself is inside home. Keep us posted.

Many outdoor faucets are now the freeze-resistant type. They are kept in the closed position when not in use; the valve seat is at the end of a long tube well inside the house where it is warm. There is no need for a separate inside shut off valve. For the conventional faucet, keep the faucet valve open throughout the winter. That way, any residual water that might freeze has room to expand.
I believe spigots with the cap on top are considered freeze resistant. Seems like his first one is what you're describing and he just took the extra step of the shutoff valve. I'm not sure the cover is needed for that type of spigot. Seems like a recent trend to use them. I've never seen one on a house myself.
What if you don’t have access to the shut off valve inside? I think it’s somewhere in our crawl space and we’ve never actually gone in there (kinda scary)
Thanks for watching & sharing this. We lived in a house a few years back that had the shutoff valve inside crawl space. We thought the same thing...kinda scary down there...but...we ended up taking a few minutes & heading down there & turning valve off. Please keep us posted!
This puzzles me: After shutting off the basement valve, how come there is so little water (only a few drops) come out when I open the outdoor spigot to drain?! What did the water between the spigot and the valve go?
Good morning, we are drinking our morning coffee and answering any and all questions for the DIY community. That’s a great question, and we appreciate you asking. With the valve in the open position, there is still built-up water pressure being fed from our household pressure tank. The second we close that valve, we also eliminate the pressure from our tank that pushes that water through the pipe and out of the spigot in a fast and pressurized manner. In other words, once the valve closes, the pressure tank can no longer push pressurized water past that valve and push that water out of the remaining pipe as well as spigot… the water just kind of hangs out in the pipe and wonders where the pressure went… Hope this helps. 😎👍
I was going to ask if you had a video on this...and here it is! Lol! Only problem is I don't have a utility room or basement etc. like this house you showed. The only way to shut the water is to go to the main area (don't know what it's called ). The area where the water company reads the meter every month. Oh I think it's called meter box ? 🤔 Anyway I can't do that because then it shuts all my water. So is there another way ? ☺
Thanks for watching Gloria. Do you by chance have a crawl space under main floor? If so, the shutoff valve will be down below in crawl space on opposite side as spigot. Hope this helps. Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders No my friend this house doesn't have any space under any floor or the house. It's an old home like 45 or plus yrs. ☺ Thank you for the reply.
This is a super helpful video, but suggesting people toss a perfectly good item, especially styrofoam, is terribly wasteful and bad for the environment. Giving it away to someone else who doesn’t mind storing it til next winter would be a super easy way to avoid the environmental impact.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Nb, It’s called a drain or bleeder 😉.
Does the bleeder valve stay open during winter?
And spiged stays closed, after draining out the water from the pipe for the winter right?
Excellent video
Thats awesome thanks for sharing

Thanks for the video!
If you put that faucet cover on, why do you need to shut off the outside tap?
Because when you turn the water back on in the garage/basement, you'll forget the spigot is on and water will immediately start running.
I always thought you were supposed to shut the water valve off while the water is running?
Thanks for watching, a few different methods out there for sure. This one is what has been safest and has worked best for us.
Been living in Chicago for 35 years, and I never disconnected no hose in the winter.

Thanks for watching. That will be personal preference. Labeling it is not a bad idea as well.
Yes, if inner is letting some few drops now and then (which can happen) - this way you can save spigot.
What if walking multiplie times with hose over your head does not help and some water still ir being trapped in hose?
Great video! Thank you!
I live in a condo, no water is coming through. I have no idea where the shut off valve would be located. 😢
