Simply Better Water
Protect Your Pipes from Upstate Winters
When the long winters of Upstate and Northern New York set in, freezing temperatures can put your home, cottage, or camp at serious risk. Without proper protection, pipes can freeze and burst, drains can crack, and water damage can leave you with costly repairs.
That’s why Soft Water by George (SWBG) offers professional home winterization services across the North Country — from Alexandria Bay and Clayton to Carthage, Gouverneur, and beyond. Whether you’re closing up a seasonal cottage, winterizing a hunting camp, or protecting your year-round home, we make sure your plumbing and water systems are safe all season long.
Why Winterize Your Home or Cottage?
In Northern New York, temperatures regularly drop well below freezing and stay there for months. Even a small amount of water left behind can cause major issues:
- Burst or frozen pipes
- Cracked drains and sink traps
- Damaged fixtures and fittings
- Flooding once pipes thaw in spring
Seasonal properties like camps, cottages, and cabins are especially vulnerable since they often sit empty all winter. Professional winterization ensures your home is protected until you return.
SWBG Winterization Services
Our trained team provides complete winterizing for homes, cottages, and camps in Jefferson, Lewis, Oswego, and St. Lawrence Counties. Services include:
- Shutting down and securing water supplies
- Blowing out water lines to prevent standing water from freezing

- Protecting exterior spigots and hose lines
