[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can just shut the main valve; you don’t have to drain the pipes. Presumably you are leaving heat on (do that!). The idea is to limit water damage, not to make the house waterless.[/quote] Drain the pipes. [/quote] Can somebody spell this out for me? Can I turn off the main line, flush toilets, open faucets? Do I need to do anything about the water heater? And what do I do when I return?[/quote] Turn off the mail shutoff valve. Leave your heat on. Don’t drain any pipes (except your exterior hose bibs, assuming you didn’t do them already). When you come back, turn the shutoff valve back on. That’s it.[/quote]
