Sump drain line frozen

4. It's happened to me and unfortunately

there is only one solution I know of for sure, and it's dependent upon the type of drain.

Mine feeds through the basement wall and through a hose out a good distance into the yard. This means I can go out and pound on the hose with a rubber mallet to clear the ice. If your drain isn't accessible then this of course isn't an option.

I'm guessing you have power since the pump continues to run. The other thought would be to boil some water and pour it into the well. The hot water should theoretically circulate and free up the ice.

If neither of these are an option it's best to just turn off the pump, since it'll burn out eventually if you don't.

I doubt this is helpful but it's the best I can do. Best wishes.
