Default sump pump drain hose frozen.. what to do? A bit more detail....

Poor installation but you don't have to dig up the entire lenght.
Only a few feet at the end back to where it is deep enough not to
freeze. Slope the last few feet so it does drain out. Of course if
you can't lower the end you are pretty much SOL.


Not at all.

Even if he can't lower the discharge end at all, he can still *raise* some
other part of the run. Of course, that might require digging up and
reinstalling the entire run, but at least it would get him a proper downward
slope to the discharge.
