Hello everyone and happy holidays!
Temps in W NC hit 9deg last night & woke up to no water (hot or cold) at kitchen sink, but shower, toilet & bathroom sink working fine.
Had furnace running all night, tank heaters on and we have a heated fresh water supply hose.
Checked faucet for clogs, loosened cold & hot lines under kitchen sink & no water, so suspect we have a "frozen" area somewhere below the sink.
I can't find any diagrams on how the water line distribution system is constructed...anybody have any diagrams or knowledge of how this system is plumbed?
Have heat directed down into belly under the sink where water lines run w a space heater and/or hair dryer on low (testing them to see what works better), but no joy.
Any idea on how I isolate/determine where the freeze might be? Is that even possible or is applying heat to the area our only viable option?
Am I missing anything?
Thanks for any help you can offer and Merry Christmas.
Matt
