Hi... very pregnant and very frustrated. I came home from work today and have no water. I know that something is frozen but I don't know how to tell where it is, or how to determine if it is the supply that comes to my house that is frozen or my pipes somewhere under my mobile home. I have no water to any faucet in my house. I have turned up all the heat and have several space heaters running in different areas of my home. I don't know what else I can do. I really have no money to call a plumber and I there's really no one to help me. Ive got to do this on my own, so any help is very much needed and extremely appreciated.

Are you on city water or a well? If city make sure it isn't turned off at the street box where the meter is located. If well, it there water pressure on the gauge. If you had water earlier, has the temp dropped that much? Are the underneath pipes insulated? Unfortunately about the only other thing to do is to go under the home and start heating the lines with a hair dryer. Make sure they are well insulated and if they are frozen consider using a heat tape. Close all under home openings to reduce air flow under the house.

I am on city water and the water has not been turned off. I had water when I left for work today at 2pm when I got home at 7pm there was no water.. and yes it's very cold out I'm not sure how cold but probably below 0. Is there a way I can tell where to start heating the pipes?

Not really, I would start nearest the faucets
