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!

Called them, am on their calendar for the morning. Anyone have a rough idea how much they tend to charge? I've had Roto-Rooter out twice in the past 2 months.

I¡¯m a little surprised they aren¡¯t coming tonight. They came late at night (might have even been a weekend) the one time we needed them. Sorry, can¡¯t remember what they charged.

They came and cleared a sink drain for us last year. They had to snake out about 50 feet and it cost about $250. I think their charge is based on the size of the line, rather than time they spend working. That said, I can't remember if they did it all with a small snake or had to go into a bigger machine since they went into the outdoor pipes.
Dan?
