Can we leave the outside faucets dripping a bit to prevent freezing or is that a bad idea? Did you look in your basement where the wall meets the foundation? You should have a shut off valve there where the pipe leads outside. The only shutoff valve on our lower level (walkout, not full basement) is the main. The outside hose bibs are at the front and back of the garage and there are no shutoffs there. Should we leave them dripping or try to get some covers? [/quote] I don't know whether dripping or covers would be better. Obviously you can't do both. I guess I'd look for covers, and ask the guys at the hardware store what they think. But if you don't find covers or don't get around to it, letting them drip is better than nothing. [/quote]
