So it seems I have a frozen hot water line somewhere in a wall... Last yr I had a dead hot water line burst (was capped off to previous owner hot tub) from an air leak.
Well while tearing out stuff in the kind of attic we found there was a corded heat tape on a pipe but the cord was coiled up in the wall( yea I don't get how it was suppose to work either). So I pulled it out and there was a electric cable there so I wired up an outlet and plugged it in a while back... Well the idiot I am never thought to check that there was actually power through the cable...There isn't...
So I've got an extension cord running from the heat cord out the door to an outlet in the room. I know I have power at the outlet but is there anyway to check that the heat cord is actually working without tearing out the Styrofoam board and stuff back out?
