My kitchen sink, bathroom, and shower all seem to be connected. If I use any of them the shower area starts to flood. I've poured about 8 giant bucket loads of water outside on the ground. I've called everyone, and they don't know what to do. I've never seen this happen before. It's 17 degrees out there. BF

Sounds like you have some frozen pipes. Call a plumber and see if they service this kind of repair but be prepared that they might be busy because this is a common problem in this type of cold weather. They can install some sort of insulation around the pipes to help keep this from happening. It's also a good idea to let your water drip when the temps are below freezing. Hope they can fix this for you!

One suggestion to un-freeze pipes is to use a blow dryer but it is best to get the landlord to get a plumber.
I am sorry it is cold. Do you have water / liquids to drink? M |

When I went to bed, the water line was stable in the shower area. It was half full. When I got up this morning the drain was empty. Thank goodness. I have been letting hot water trickle down from the bathroom faucet for several days.
I used a plunger, and a snake device. The situation is still okay at this time. I prayed about it also. It's 13 degrees right now at 9:36 PM Saturday night. BF |

I'm so glad that it seems like things are okay right now, BF. You don't need to deal with any more hassles.
Stay warm |
