We own a two family home, the rental unit has a laundry room in an unheated hallway. Every year, the pipes freeze and the tenants cannot do laundry for 1/2 to 1/3 of the winter months. We have lost several tenants because of it.
The previous owners kind of mickey moused the laundry room and the pipes are inaccessible. We have had several estimates to fix the problem all costing over $5,000. Does anyone know of a way to fix the problem without tearing out walls? Space heaters do not work, we cannot wrap the pipes, or put a heating wire on them.
the pipes run through the back wall of our closet on the first floor so taking the wall out is not an option. Does anyone have any ideas?
