I think the plumber might have pumped RV antifreeze in on some spots.
Not if you drain and blow systematically! I made up a fitting so I can attach my compressor to the water lines. First drain water and hot water tanks, then gravity drain what pipes I can. I turn the water tank valve off and start the compressor, then go to each faucet and one by one open them up til nothing but air comes out. Drain toilets ( wet vac works great for that), then add antifreeze to toilet bowls and all drain traps. Drain washing machine and run a little antifreeze through that, then do the same with the dishwasher...that's all!
