mikeman Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 If you're living there you'll be using enough water to keep them from freezing, pipe insulation will help but not if the house was just sitting unlived in for an extended period. Electric heat tape might be called for in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVU Posted December 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 Well guys. My pipes are frozen. 0 degrees was too cold. The tenant was nice enough to turn the well pump off. I called a plumber and he said best to wait until it thaws. That might not be until Tuesday. These guests leave Tue and others check in Wednesday. not sure what to do here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue where it is frozen. Could be out by the pump or under the house in craw space basement area. Pipes are PEX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were talking of 20 degree temps, you say it got to zero, wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going guess that they put the line headed to the building above the frost line so that’s where I would check first.You might want to either dig it down deeper or put a electric line heater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
