    Think my sewer is froze
    I live in a trailor park in a single wide trailor. Our water froze, but we got it thawed. Now we think the sewer is froze, but it is 40 degrees outside. I removed some of the skirting so the warm air can pass through. It still won't go down. I don't have the money for a plumber to come. I am wondering if I should try to run a snake down through. Please any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.. Thank You!!

    Mega mom..

    Your toilet should be working/flushing... yes? The sink inside the bathroom should also be draining.. yes? The tub probably is not draining....right?

    Unless, the entire trailer froze up both INSIDE and outside..? If entire trailer froze then all drains could be frozen, except toilet drain. Here, the toilet itself would have frozen... not the main drain line.

    Anyway, fill us in on more details and we'll see how to help you best!

    If sewer is froze, snaking will not help. Please answer Marks questions, and we will try to help further.
