You can try using a blow dryer. Hopefully, none of your pipes broke. Be sure to listen for running water, when there shouldn't be any. After this is over, you might consider adding covers to your exposed pipes. They sell foam covers that you cut to fit the size of your pipes. They already have a slit so you slide the cover onto the pipe. They also have electric pipe heaters, but you have to be careful with those and read the instructions, or else you can end up with a fire. Lastly, if you do have a pipe break, it should be covered under your mobile home insurance. Good luck. Linda

electric tape.....take it from an ole' fire sprinkler fitter....

Your pipes are frozen underneath the trailer. Turning your heater up won't solve the problem too easily. If it were me, I'd call the local equipment rental shop and see if they have any portable heaters available. These are either propane or Kerosene fired heaters with built in blowers. They move a lot of hot air. Point that thing underneath the trailer and warm the pipes up. If you are lucky, nothing is broken. Chances are better than not that something is going to be busted though. Sorry. At some point in the future, you should look into having the pipes "heat traced" That what was mentioned prior to me. They put a strip of heating element on the pipe and wrap it with a layer of insulation. When the temp gets low, the heater kicks in and keeps the pipes clear. Good Luck! chris
