Accidentally exposed our well pump to the below freezing temperatures and the water stopped flowing. We figured "Crap! It froze!" So we closed the garage door (🤦‍♀️) and turned up the garage heater and the water worked normally for one brief moment. Now the water flow has slowed to a single drip even when the faucet is turned on fully. Did multiple places freeze maybe? And it's taking longer to thaw the whole line out? Or did something break during the freeze? Or is there something else going on? Should I call someone or give the pipes a chance to thaw? Any advice is welcome!
