My experience has been limited, but usually the pipes in the ground get frozen. If that were the case, then you just have to wait till you start getting warmer days. Check to see is there is any water coming out of anything - even outside hose bibs. If there is, then the problem is not with the supply.
They do have pipe warmers that can be put on the pipes under 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.............
