Dale, thanks for the suggestion on my claw-foots, I'm looking into it. This house has been vacant for some years, so the water supply has been shut off. When the water company came to install a new meter in the basement they laughed at me and said it would freeze (I'm in Providence) and I should heat the (unfinished) basement first. I mentioned it seemed silly to heat an unfinished basement and they laughed at me again. My plumber is unnervingly dissinterested in addressing this issue for me. I know heating the basement is not the answer, and the only source of heat once inhabited is from a high efficieny gas furnace in another room in the basement, surely not enough to stop it from freezing. This is not an uncommon situation, what usually happens? |
