I've used near boiling water from a saucepan out to where the pipe comes out of the ground and it works like a charm. I have metal pipes so if you have pvc plastic you may not want to do that.

Over here in Michigan I didn’t prepare for our usual cold and now I have to pay the price. I appreciate you help.

Straw bales around all skirting can help

[lyndabuchholz]

I have insulated my skirting very well and use heat tapes. I haven't had a freeze problem with all that. I am in Montana and we were minus 24 and no problem. I have my heat taped plugged into a thermo cube so it automatically starts and stops with that cube. I used to run the water at a drip and had my septic freeze up. So the heat tape is a blessing.

I am in Iowa in a mobile home on 6 acres. We did have 1 faucet that was frozen. I used a hair dryer and then a lamp under the sink that left it on and around 11 at night it became unfrozen. I was so happy. My husband has been working 12 hours a day and I did it by myself.

Thank you for posting. Upstate NY in a nice late 80's Mobile home which I change out the heat tape every 5 years. Great stuff.

Leaving a trickle of water has been known to freeze up a drain pipe. Once, when our heat tape failed, I just removed the frozen section of pipe and brought it into the kitchen and thawed it over the heat register. Trailers are FUN!

Thanks for the guide. We are having a freeze here. I live in Clinton, TN. Woke up this morning to no water. I am assuming our pipes are frozen somewhere. My first time experiencing this so here I go. Wish me luck.

Thank you. This was the best video I found on this.

As a southern Californian, I knew you would save that water!!

I love y'alls channel. We are also on 1.5 acres in a mobile home but in eastern N.C. It's nice to see all the possibilities available for a modest size homestead with a realistic budget. Ty!

Keep an eye on you septic when you run water in the cold. It can freeze your septic

[HLLCATMANDO]

I like how it went from pipes to food love it bro 😂👌🏼

[suzieclary]

I'm programmed. As soon as I hear that classic 50s music I expect to hear and see "Fuzzy Muggins" and "Berniece". Haha!

[kylerstowe]

I can attest to the wonders of heat tape! We have a summer cabin that yearly had busted pipes from freezing in the winter. Since we installed heat tape not one busted pipe.

God bless you and your beautiful family!

[patriotmama]

Have all your faucets turned to "warm water" and it just needs to be at a fast drip. Also, open the doors under your sink in the kitchen and bathrooms. The heat from your house will help keep the pipes open. Works in South Central Il when our farm is under a blizzard and the wind chills are down to around 20 to 30 below out here on the prairie.

[MJ-wzjo]

Heat tape where you know you have a issue insulation on pipes a must.

Man I love y’all, once I get my homestead established here in Texas y’all are coming over
