How much anti freeze do you need to put down each drain when you winterize a property in Missouri?
The HUD regulations specify that “Adequate amounts of antifreeze are to be placed in all fixture traps, including toilet tanks and bowls.”
Editor’s Note: By performing the winterization, the contractor takes on the responsibility for any freeze damage. Each contractor will have to decide what is an “adequate amount.”
