Our line from our well to the house (well with submersible pump at 120 feet deep) froze when we were away for a month in the winter. Unfortunately, we are on bedrock and the pipe is only 3 feet deep.
I drove hot water down the 1" line using a length of 1/2" Pex. I fed the 1/2" little by little as the frozen area thawed. After 8 hours of fun, the frozen area was thawed and the water was back on.
Once spring came, we began noticing air from our faucets. You can also hear air bubbling in...
Well - air in line after freezing
