Always, then run the water in a sink till no more water comes out in order to eliminate pressure in the system due to the expansion tank on the hot water heater. Then turn off your hot water heater circuit breaker. Also put Plastic wrap over all drains plus toilets (reduces chance of sewer gas coming into house if a p-trap were to dry up due to lengthily a sense)
