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..

I'm dealing with the same thing here. The weird part is that it's an internal pipe that is not even close to an exterior wall. But the pipe goes next to the vent pipe of the house that goes up to the roof, and the cold air comes down that vent pipe and freezes the water line. I just drilled a hole in my baseboard to try to get some hot air in there.

Blowtorches have a ton of uses.

Don't use one if it's PEX, though.

On the bright side, you find drafts that need closed off.

I solved my problem with a major MacGyver move. The frozen pipe is in a vertical service tunnel and we can't reach it. So we got our shop vac and turned it on to blower mode and poked a hole in the wall to put the nozzle in. I blew ambient air from my home office down into the tunnel and within 10 minutes the pipe thawed.

I'm going to be running the shop vac every half hour for the next 2 days, but at least the pipe isn't frozen.

It took me a few tries to realize that there was no way to get to the frozen pipe. The other side of this wall is decorative wainscotting, so I couldn't go in from the other side. But pumping air into the wall did the trick.

That looks like a great idea.

She's happy that there's not a waterfall of ice flowing down the back of our house right now.

It was kind of fun to saw holes through the wall. I never get to do that.

Rain man- Can you leave it open this winter. Make a cut next summer and wrap it in heat tape then put in new wall.
