Does anyone know what I can do for a frozen sump pump line?
My lines going outside are plastic so I don't think fire would work.
Any options would be helpful. Thank you.

More info would be nice. Boiling water works well if it's not too
bad. If the pipe is exposed and of a short distance it could be cut
out and replaced or even carried inside to thaw. That poly pipe is
cheap. Your other option is wait for a warmer weather.

Interestingly, the BORG where I live stops stocking poly pipe in the
winter but Ace hardware keeps it in the back with samples of every
diameter out on the isle. Your best choice to avoid the problem is to
use a shorter pipe or run the pump manually during the cold weather so
the pipe can be drained.

I live up in the northwoods our low tonite is expected to be negative
30 below farenheight.
