My parents were snowbirds and as they had a place in New Hampshire closing it down for the winter was also an issue. They had a drain on the water line to back drain the lines and then would use a compressor to blow air through the lines so nothing would freeze and then put anitfreeze in the johns and sink drains so any remaining water in the traps wouldn't freeze. Moth balls to discourage the forest critters (Squirrels ). We were use to it as we had summer cabins we rented out which always had to be winterized, but it was a big deal as I recall. And they still had to pay for someone to check on it or the insurance was void, but I think that leaks were not covered even with a service which is why they always drained the water either that or my dad just didn't want to pay to heat the place when it was empty.
