Hello,
I live in Northeast Wisconsin. I have a sand point driven 16ftdown. It is in a small pump house building that is not heated.
I will be building a big insulated box around the pump and using light bulbs or a heat lamp to keep the pump from freezing
My question is.
How do you keep the pipe coming up from the ground from freezing?
Can I tape a heat cable to the pipe about 3 ft down and put that black foam pipe insulation over the pipe and heat cable in the ground?

How does everyone else keep their pipe from freezing in the ground.

Thank you

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
