My husband and I live in Iowa where our winter weather has turned extremely cold (currently 7 degrees). Our home has two 3" vent pipes and one 2" vent pipe on the roof coming from our bathrooms/kitchen. Over the last week, each of the pipes have frozen over. When this happens, our basement smells of sewer gas. To eliminate this problem, we have had to climb up on the roof and pour hot water down each pipe to unfreeze them. Any ideas on how to eliminate the vent pipes from freezing (aside from not using any hot water)? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
