I live at about 7,000 feet in a ranch house. Plate per grade. The house was built in 2002 and originally had underfloor heating. At some point, it was bought out, was not properly isolated, and was subsequently put up for sale. We bought this house in 2010. When we moved in, 3/10 of the heating circuits were severed under the stove. I was able to repair one, but the cost of heating the propane was $ 500 a month. When the boiler failed, we abandoned the system and eventually installed a wood-burning stove. My plan for today is to cut the snake in the damaged area and see if I have enough strength to clear the line. I'd like to attach a cordless drill to it and try to drill through the ice, but since the plastic is softer than ice, I'm afraid it'll just go through the side and make things worse, but to be honest, I'm sick of it. What does the community say?

I faced this problem at the very beginning of my career. To this day I remember how much trouble she caused me. The funny thing is that this problem was solved only with ordinary polyurethane foam. So thanks to the Internet for the opportunity to find a problem at a moment and find a solution to it. The most joyful thing is that the younger generation can learn interesting things about our profession at any moment, and even better, if the young man himself wants to become a plumber. I recently found a site to explore the highlights of our craft https://www.howtobecomeaplumber.org/plumber-apprentice/. I would like to wish my colleagues not to be afraid to ask questions and to use the Internet more often. Good luck to all!
