I'm posting this for a friend of mine who went away last weekend when the temps were record low negative numbers. He had what he thought were frozen pipes when he returned. The plumber he called out told him the pipes inside the house were not the problem but rather the pipe outside had frozen. He told them since they were not home to use any water and didn't leave a faucet cracked open this is why it happened. He suggested they contact the water company which they did, but were told this wasn't a water company issue and they would have to get someone to dig up the yard to gain access the pipes that were frozen. I know they don't have that kind of money to afford that and I just wondered if there was anything they could try in order to get the pipe thawed. Thanks to anyone who offers any help or suggestions.
