Condensation and frost on a house window in winter

Winterization Prep

Winterization prep covers the interior work that keeps a house from freezing or losing heat: draining and shutting off exterior spigots, insulating exposed pipes, sealing drafts at windows and doors, installing storm windows or window film, and checking heat tape and the thermostat setback.

Signs It’s Time to Call

  • Drafts felt at windows, doors, and outlets on exterior walls
  • Exposed water lines in a crawlspace, garage, or unheated basement
  • Outdoor faucets that have never been shut off from inside
  • A second home or rental that will be unoccupied for weeks at a time

What’s Usually Behind It

  • Original single-pane windows and worn weatherstripping
  • Plumbing run through unconditioned space in additions and cottages
  • Gaps around pipe and wire penetrations letting cold air reach water lines
  • Frost-free spigots left with a hose attached through the fall
NEPA context

Winterization Prep in Northeastern Pennsylvania

Lake cottages around Wallenpaupack, Lake Ariel, Hawley, and Milford were built for summer use, with plumbing in crawlspaces and along exterior walls that was never meant to face a Pocono January. Even full-time homes in Scranton, Montrose, and the surrounding areas have spigots and basement lines that freeze when temperatures hold below 20 degrees for weeks, and weatherstripping on century-old doors is often gone entirely.
