Reply to comment by OtherBarry3 in Pipes frozen. Any advice? Landlord unresponsive as usual by Fair-Procedure-5257

Yeah, I saw those. I've never still had frozen pipes. I feel like that would happen if you let it drip and never turned them on and used them. Just dripping.

They also mentioned it being really cold and dripping not helping. But again, I feel like you'd have to not use your water for a while, just drip, to get to that point.

​

Really feel bad for OP, I wonder what the LL's on this sub would do or think.

Most of life is learning through experience though. And if you switch cities, climates, or even countries, you have to do it all over again lol

My first apartment I didn't drip and didn't have pipes freeze. It was the top floor of a house in Greenville. $800 a month. Two other units below me.

My second one in a ten unit building on 15th Street by Cast Iron Lofts froze. It was Reason #136 I like having a car.

I have a house now in Bergen Lafayette, let it drip and left the basement at 65 and when I used it for the first time I heard a sputter before it started. It's cold.

I ramble all this to say...it sucks now, but a good memory to keep for the whole age and wisdom thing later. Tomorrow is 50. Leave the cabinets open today for room temp to hit. Could take hours. Hope your LL gets back to you. I would get a good book and a hot toddy/hot boba at your favorite bar/bubble tea spot.
