Frozen sewer pipes...need help asap! Thank you!

If your drain pipes are properly sloped, the only place water sits is in the bottom of the trap. Normally, all the sink traps are within the heated part of the trailer, as is the trap built into your toilet. So it is usually the shower and tub drains where you have the trap extend into the crawl space.

Since there should be no water in most of the sewer line except shower and tub traps, insulation and heat tape is mostly wasted. If you insulate securely around those vulnerable traps, you should avoid most freezing incidents. I live in the Great White North, and sometime with windchill, even insulated skirting and all the rest isn't enough. Pouring warm water in the tub and waiting for the temp to come back up a little usually solves the problem.

The suggestions given by members are very helpful but if still whiskeylivewire is finding difficult then I would suggest him to contact a professional plumbing services. I am sure that they can suggest whiskeylivewire the best measures and precautions.

I saw this thread and thought "good lord, who has frozen pipes in July?!" lol

She mentioned in post#1, that DH (dear husband)
had been working overtime and hadn't been able
to do anything to fix the frozen pipes, so that only
left (her) to do so.


BTW: When I saw that this thread had been resurrected,

it briefly crossed my mind that perhaps whiskeylivewire

was having to contend with the polar vortex a bit earlier

than normal. http://mashable.com/2014/07/10/polar...er-on-the-way/

This post is 3 1/2 years old. Lets let it sleep till winter.
