I have a 3" drain line from the house to the septic tank that has frozen. I'm assuming at this point that the pipe has either heaved or sunk in the middle and has created a low spot, which freezes solid. About 12-15 feet of line freezes solid. I've had the local drain steemer guy out twice this week. $175 a shot! I'm looking for a way to keep this from freezing until I can dig it up once the frost is out. I have tried hooking a garden hose to the hot water line in the house and running it thru the drain line, I only got about 1/2 way thru when I ran out of hot water. Pushing on the hose, it wanted to double over and kink. This idea didn't work well at all. I am finding myself at a loss here and have quite a while to go before I can dig it up. This home is in a heavily populated area and I can't just run the sewage out above ground, not even for a short bit. The steemer guy has a hot water pressure washer that he uses. Looks like a pretty slick set up and it makes short work of the job but I'm sure its not cheap. I'm hoping someone has a creative idea that will keep the line open can buy me some time till frost out. Thanks!
