Indiana has never had weather like this for so many days in a row. It's one thing to have a 0 degree day but it's another to have almost a week of it. We can handle snow, ice, sleet, hail, and even the occasional tornados at wierd times but this weather is brutal! I have lived in my house for five years and our pipes have NEVER frozen. Now, our master sink is frozen for running water and in the same bathroom our master drain for the shower is frozen but the toilet works and so does the water in the shower. My parents moved to another house from a house they have been living in for 30 years and their drains have never frozen and my mom called me today and said their kitchen sink drain was frozen but the water still runs...it's very bizaar. They are trying to sell this house and it doesn't look good to have standing water in the kitchen sink. I told her to get out the wet/dry vac if scalding water being poured down the drain doesn't work. Do you think pouring a canister of table salt down the drain would work? It's biodegradable so I know it won't hurt whereas pouring window solvant (the spitter fluid from your windshield wipers) would.
