Winterize Your Home Before the Next Hard Freeze — $250 Flat
San Antonio winters are mild — until one hard freeze isn’t. A burst pipe can cost thousands; winterizing the house costs $250 flat. RI Construction will winterize your residential home ahead of the cold snaps — the full plumbing drain-down, photo-documented when we’re done.
What’s included
- Water shut off at the meter, and the meter zip-tied closed
- All water lines drained down
- Lines blown out with an air compressor
- Pressure test performed on the water lines
- Water heater drained, with its gas/electric shut off
- Non-toxic antifreeze in sink, tub, shower, and floor-drain traps
- Toilets and toilet tanks drained, with antifreeze added
- Toilets wrapped
- Winterization stickers placed on the fixtures throughout the home
- Photo documentation of the completed work
Not included: pipe insulation or faucet covers — winterization protects the home by removing the water from the system, not by wrapping pipes.
That’s the difference between this and a sprinkler blowout: we’re protecting the house’s whole plumbing system, not just the yard lines.

Winterization questions
When should I book a home winterization in San Antonio?
In the fall, before the first hard freeze. San Antonio cold snaps don’t give much warning, and most winters bring at least a night or two cold enough to burst a pipe in an unprotected home. Booking ahead of the snap is the whole point.
Is this the same as a sprinkler blowout?
No — a sprinkler blowout only clears the irrigation lines. This is a whole-home winterization: the domestic plumbing system is drained down and left depressurized, the water heater is drained, and traps get non-toxic antifreeze. If you only need the sprinkler system done, that’s a smaller job — ask us and we’ll tell you straight.
What if my plumbing isn’t standard?
The $250 special covers standard residential homes in the San Antonio service area. If we find non-standard plumbing or a repair that’s needed, we quote it separately, in writing, before any extra work is done — no surprises.
