Plumbing Problem

January 14, 2010
Yes, plumbing problem. The bathtub drain is frozen. When I first bought my house, it was green. No pipe problems. Then I painted my house white and the problem started. What I did at that time was wrap a heating cord around the pipe and plug it in for the winter. That cured the problem for many years. A couple of years ago, I decided to renovate the bathroom. Put in a new bathtub and thought my problem would go away with the old tub.
Well, it didn’t go away and I forgot to fix the problem last summer. Have to wait for the summer now. It freezes up when the windchill gets high. Thaws out again when it warms up.
Temperature now -2C/20F. Not too bad if it is not windy.
