Huh. Yeah, that would work. |

There must be lots of nice posts I didn't have the time to read.
Pipes breaks from extreme cold-heat changes.
They need to be repaired.
You may opt to improve / upgrade them to prevent future damage on those extreme conditions.
The more protection, the more likely the cost or work effort will raise.
I think the new plastic pipes models may be more efficient now.
I am not sure about their co-efficient as I'm not a pipe engineer.
Perhaps, try to find some water nearby to compensate for the damage until fixed.
I'm almost certain that was already suggested. |

To the OP. Mobile homes are especially prone to frozen pipes. It can happen to fixed structures without proper insulation. Can't help you with an estimate on repairs but it shouldn't be too bad. Main concern is water damage but mobiles have all the exposed plumbing on the underside. I would talk with your insurance provider to see if you have coverage. In the future if you expect severe/abnormal cold weather, leave your cold water taps trickling. That will prevent pipes from freezing up and rupturing.

someone on comms told me their solution for frozen pipes at a rental property of theirs was stuffing hay around the pipes and then wrapping the whole thing in plastic.

There also exists a heating cable that can be fitted inside the pipe, though you need an electrician to do it and obviously your pipe can't be frozen solid before fitting.

since you have a well, its very possible that the controls froze up. a heat lamp will help with that. |
