Curo lifehacks: Frozen pipes

No water coming out of your pipes? If they're frozen, try this...

Open the tap attached to the frozen pipe, and open nearby working taps to a trickle.
Use a hair dryer or heat gun to gently warm the pipe which leads to the tap, starting from the end which is nearest to the tap. SAFETY FIRST: take care when using electrical appliances anywhere near water.
Heat the surrounding air using an electric heater.
As an alternative, try wrapping the pipe in hot towels.
If drains or waste outlets are frozen add salt to these.
