URGENT - Help/Advise - Sewer Line Froze
|
Hi, all,
I just popped into the basement to check on the laundry, and found water backing up from all three of the floor drains that go to the outside line. That suggests to me that the pipe froze outside.
I phoned Roto-Rooter, and they will call back in the morning. My question is what to do in the meantime. I assume, stop running water (except for the one sink with a pipe on an outside wall). I read on the internet to run hot water, but I think that could backfire if the ice plug is outside the house.
Does anyone have experience with something like this?
THANK YOU!
