Attic tank emptied...no water flowing in

[Jango_Fett]

I've just noticed this morning that my tank in the attic was empty. Ball cock working ok, cold water to kitchen sink ok.

I've disconnected the pipe going into the tank in attic and disconnected it at the next fitting 6 foot down pipe and its clear....water flowing through it.

So I disconnected the black polypie under the sink and disconnected at the fitting in the attic and blew compressed air through and its not coming through.

I can only imagine that in some section of the pipe its got frozen water. This pipe though is inside the house if I was led to believe so I'm wondering why I've got a frozen section.

Next door neighbour checked his and its ok.

I don't see the point in trying to clear it with rods if I could, cos the water would just freeze again. Do I just sit it out and wait for the thaw?

I'm lucky at one level I still have water in my kitchen tap

Can you thaw out cold feed in roofspace?

As the nearest clear section is only 6ft away can you not just remove the blocked section and take it downstairs and run some hot water through it.

Failing that just bypass the blocked section

Or use a hair drier if safe to do so on pipe

I've checked the polypipe cold feed section in the attic with a clothes hanger and its not blocked...my guess is its frozen somewhere at the top of the wall or around the eaves which is a beatch to get at...
