Please someone help me

My water pipes are frozen under the ground outside my house. How do unthaw them?
Find the pipes coming into your home and point an electric heater at them. If you can't go out side , do it under the sinks, and leave the faucets open a little for when they start to thaw

@FreeSpirit1 Ive been doing that for 8 hours and I'm pretty sure the frozen part is outside my house.
@melissa001 i would keep doing until you get a plumber, it happens to me and took about 12 hours,I also used a hair dryer.
It sucks I know⁹

@FreeSpirit1 ok thanks. I'll keep the heater under the house on.

Happened to my mother in law. The Plummer had to I think drive a thing down to it. And think used a welder. And it was right on the line of water company responsibility and homeowner. So I think it was both payed half of it.

@Jonjdw I have a well. Hmmm ok thanks.

@melissa001 well then all you. But still if it under the ground idk how the find it. She lets her water on a bit ever since then. It was like 20 years ago the first winter there I think.

@Jonjdw I have been doing that but I must have turned it off last night without thinking about it. I'm so stupid.
Do you have a well house?

We've had our pipes freeze and had to get the plumber to come out and use a thaw machine that shocks the pipes.

@Starcrossed even if it's under the ground outside my house?
melissa001 · 51-55, F
I doubt they could dig into the ground.

Leave them open and try and get some heat near them
melissa001 · 51-55, F
@LunarEclipse the house is warm so the pipes in my house I don't think are frozen but I have a heater under the house.
LunarEclipse · 61-69, M
Yes. leave all the faucets open a bit

They are already unthawed, you need to thaw then!

They’ll be fine in a few months, no worries

Typically heat blankets draped over the ground.

Grave warmer. Use propane to warm ground.

Hairdryer?

If the pipes are underground then there is nothing you can do until they unthaw. Then consider having them redone and buried deeper underground.
