The Denville adventure continues. (Think Hindenburg.)
Turns out our main water line enters the basement at 16 inches, not the 36 inches that'd put us below the frost line. It got cold, the pipe froze... Somewhere between the street and the house. That's mebbe 120' of guessing.
We were quoted $750 to have a Hotshot Pipe Thawer clamped to either end of the pipe. Balked at the price. Thought "how hard can it be?" and tried to rent one. No luck. No luck finding welders or plumbers who want to do this kinda work. $750 is starting to sound reasonable.
Anyone had this happen before?
