Sometimes, a winterization must be reversed, usually as standard practice, however also to carry out sales evaluations or house repair services. As such, the electricity and water services are turned on (a generator may be used) to aid in flushing the plumbing lines of anti-freeze. While in addition ensuring the climate systems and fixtures are all functional. Of course once the cold weather returns, the property will be re-winterized in preparation for the freezing months.
