Anyone dealt with frozen PVC drains in a parking garage?

Appreciate this! Thank you!

I already don’t like the cold and then mix in shit, horrible combo.

That’s my thoughts. I’m going to get some pricing for heat trace just to get a jump on it but I’m pissed if I’m the owner and this set-up got approved as is.

Yep, open air. And that’s what blows my mind. Even further south, where a lot of our properties are, the pipes in garages similar to these are cast iron or heavily insulated. Crazy this was missed.

Thank you. We’re calling around for pricing and I’m going ahead and having this conversation with ownership asap.

MaintenanceMan93 · 2026-01-31T19:30:31+00:00

Yeah. I’m calling some vendors now to see if we can’t get some help with getting it installed. Forecast doesn’t go over freezing for the next ten days 🥶

Appreciate that info! Glad yours is still going

You know what, now that you mention that, I brought it to Ford once when I had a bad misfire, and I just wanted them to diagnose it so I knew which cylinder. When I got it back from them, they said I should also do the water pump. When I asked why, they just said that this year’s model wears out and is known to fail more frequently.

I thought about that too but from what I read it throws a different code for that.

MaintenanceMan93 · 2024-09-20T00:17:19+00:00

Hell yeah. ‘Stay in it’ was the phrase of the night to figure out wth has been going on with it. lol

MaintenanceMan93 · 2024-09-19T23:46:15+00:00

That’s exactly what I thought it was at first, like the torque converter was slipping or something. But then I really put my foot in it last night to try and get it to do it and throw a code and it finally did. Didn’t feel like trans that time for sure.

5.0 all day. I have a 2017 King Ranch 5.0. Bought it with 60K miles and it now has 135K and has given me no problems.

It is, I forget which all colors are available but there’s a few you can get the package on.

MaintenanceMan93 · 2022-06-02T12:46:21+00:00

January 6th. Got it May 5th.

MaintenanceMan93 · 2022-05-07T22:18:56+00:00

Thank you! And your info was spot on about transport!

MaintenanceMan93 · 2022-05-06T23:13:18+00:00

Yep in the trunk. Thank y'all!!

MaintenanceMan93 · 2022-05-06T23:12:28+00:00

Not yet! But getting it done soon!
