they want break unless its some really old shit like cast iron pipe. next time when it's cold enough your pipes freeze turn the water on and let it trickle

city slickers... turn up the heat in your house and wait it out. whatever you do, do not and try and keep turning the water up to try and push the ice out.

My Dad just talked to him yesterday. He lives in Philly. Told me his pipes was frozen saturday night so he turned his home heat all the way up and they thawed over night. Just go into a bedroom close the door and open a window so you won't sweat.

They froze very near or inside the house?
We always searched out the frozen area by digging it was a real PITA. In retrospect I think waiting it out has its merits. But most of the freezes were during prolonged cold stretches and I tell you this, being without water is tougher than being without electricity. Witness the ice storm a couple of years ago. Power lines went down everywhere but when the water stopped working, everything stopped until the National Guard sent massive generators to get the pumps going.
If it's near your house I'd give waiting a day or so if feasible.
Pipes should show no ill effects.

One thing that would help is get that insulation that wraps around pipes. That could work

frozen pipe trick, to prevent this from happening again, just turn on the water where it will drip, it will not freeze that way for some reason

Get a 5g pot and boil as much water as possible, then pour it down the drain. Repeat everywhere water won't run. Then insulate your pipes you cheap fvk.

What is hot water down the drain supposed to accomplish ?
I can see insulation helping.

I went swimming today. The beaches were packed today and it was a beautiful day here in Sunny Santa Barbara. Why people subject themselves to live in that kind of weather amazes me. Some don't have a choice and because of finances they need to live in half of the year in cold weather. But JJ, you have a choice and financial freedom to live wherever you want. Get the hell out of that area and come to Southern Ca.

if you don't turn the heat on and let the pipes freeze they will crack and everything will leak from your basement to your kitchen sink

100% Correct.
I have an insurance agency and tell my clients the same thing. Best of luck.
