You gotta get under there and check that stuff every fall to be sure. Back in our trailer days I replaced that heat tape every year just to be sure. Remembering a neighbor who left back in the mid 80's when we had some of the coldest winters I've seen. His pipe froze and broke and slow leaked until he had a block of ice under the trailer from side to side and end to end. Think it took until July to thaw....

Good luck on those pipes

Had two days of snow and freezing temps. About went crazy staying inside. Today it is sunny in the upper 50s and the snow is gone! Tomorrow I hunt. Don't see how you northern boys, and girls, go without detecting for months at a time.
