Pipe froze
 

So I’m up trying to thaw out the cold water pipe to my kitchen sink.. Stupid plumber piped it out under the outside overhang in my house.. Need to thaw it before it spilts.. I always leave the water running overnight to avoid this but was up looking at highlights and Cp till midnight.
Came up to go to bed and turn the faucet on and Shit.. I knew immediately..
Just waiting for it to thaw out.. Spent a half hour building a tarp tent and setting up a heater.. I can see how the players could stay warm playing cause I am sweating when i came in.. I’m going to have to babysit this damm thing till who knows when..

Damn, that sucks. The next 36 hours or so are pretty brutal. Hopefully your efforts at least keep it from bursting and doing lasting damage.

It thawed when I saw the 2nd Rashee Rice TD.

I don't think my pipe has ever froze. I ejaculate too frequently

I got a few different methods to warm up your pipe PM me

I could try soaking it in cider..

Or anti freeze think about it what does anti mean in the word anti freeze?

Been up all nite. still froze.. Damm you winter..

I am sure people have given you all sort of advice.

When my pipes froze I used a blow dryer, and just walked the pipes for about 30 minutes, and it was good.

Then I actually wrapped all the pipes in pool noodles that had some flame reerunant gel smeared on the inside. It creates a very effective insulation, and I never had an issue after that.

Rookie.

My pipes froze for like a week straight in 2021 during the polar vortex.

Handyman added a custom cover to a hidden crawlspace and the floors (tile and hardwood) are much warmer.

that sucks. Hope you get it taken care of and fixed so you dont have to go through this crap again.

Also hope you have Monday off so you can catch up on sleep

what sucks is lots of times the pipe bursts as a result of the thawing. then its the suck.

I rented an old farm house way back in the day and the insulation in that place was pretty much nonexistent. The insulation was newspaper. I had to deal with a frozen sink pipe all the time, on a north west facing wall. I would put a space heater near the opening and let it do its thing, which always cured it but what a pain. I would use some kind of pipe wrap when it's thawed, or go with something like this, if you have an outlet near?

We did the same thing in a house we rented as a kid.

North facing, dad piled snow up to the house to stop air flow, along with hay bales.
I got the job of crawling in to plug in the tape. Old houses suck. That house is now gone.

This happened to me last year and my house flooded because I was away. This year, I turn off the water and open the faucets to let the water drain out.

It only has to happen once. And yeah, same issue. Pipes go into overhang into the kitchen. Little insulation and west facing wall with the garage underneath. Pipe froze under the floor and split above.
