Important Information regarding freezing/frozen pipes
Heat tape only runs from the line that comes out of the ground to the connection on your Mobile home.
The lines that go from room to room are in the underbelly of your home, next to your furnace duct, as they run across your home. The furnace is what keeps these lines from freezing.
Running alternative heat sources such as space heaters, fireplaces, pellet stoves or any other heating devices that keep your furnace from coming on can cause the pipes to freeze, as they prevent the furnace from doing its job of keeping the underbelly warm.
Having skirting that is missing or has gaps is another thing that can cause freezing pipes, as it gives the wind and cold access to the underbelly of the home.
Proper insulation that is intact is essential to avoid major costly issues.
Turning up the heat a few degrees during really cold temperatures will assist in keeping it warm under the home.
Heat tape is VERY important. It has to work to keep the connection line from freezing.
It is recommended that you check your heat tape to be certain it is working. The light being on does not guarantee that the tape is working so it’s best to feel it to make sure it’s warm. Some heat tape doesn’t have a light indicator, but the light only tells you it is getting power it does not tell you that the tape is working. This should always be your first step when you suspect frozen pipes.
Each manufacturer has a different warranty for how long the heat tape lasts. Proper installation & reading the warranty is advised. Opening up your cabinet doors under the sinks is also advised to keep heat flowing to the pipes.
It is advised to leave a faucet slightly running (not hot water).
If you have frozen pipes, please call a plumber immediately to help thaw them before they burst.
Be Safe and stay warm!
