I'm buying a house that sat over winter, and the water lines were winterized. The main coming into the house is cut after the valve, and from what I'm told they probably put antifreeze into the lines.

Can I just re-attach the pipe and keep running the water until I'm pretty sure theres no antifreeze left?

Some people have warned me that the plumbers could have "missed a trap or something" and I could have a burst line somewhere, but in my head as long as there is no pressure on the water line then any water that froze would have room to expand and not break a pipe.

Its all copper piping also
