We have used the "Ground Thaw" boilers on a trailer, with 500 or 1000 LF of heated hose from RSC or Cat RENTS. Stretch it out, zip tie it to the bottom of the pipe and crank up its boiler. It can thaw the pipe, but it can't fix the leaks.

Yesterday we received 5 calls about frozen piping. Two of the jobs still have frozen piping. The 2 jobs with frozen piping are ALFs, which means they are on fire watch until the pipes are thawed. What works to thaw frozen pipes, heat tapes, call a plumber? We already have fans blowing warm air into the attic spaces, but that does not do the job.
