[DIY] Frozen pipe

 

You might check that you don't have a cracked pipe under the house.  That can happen when you get an unexpected freeze.  It was -4 here Friday night with 8" of snow and even though we insulated our pipes a few years ago we still left a trickle of water running at each end of the house. 



 
My kitchen faucet wont turn on today.   I have opened the cupboard and have a 1300 watt heater blowing in there plus the nearby oven on at 200 degrees with cardboard channeling the heat toward the open cupboard where the pipes are.  (plus a pot of hot water)   Should this thaw the pipes if its possible?  This is in Portland OR, where it must have gone below freezing last night........unusual.  Any suggestions appreciated.............
