Welcome to the forum

Look underneath for the low point drains, are they under the kitchen sink? if so then you need to insulate them somehow.

My last 2 rigs were the same way. The kitchen water lines were the only lines running outside the heated basement into the unheated & minimally insulated underbelly, I didn't do anything about as it happened rarely & thawed quickly.
I guess heat taping & insulating that few feet line would be about the only option, but in the dead of winter doesn't sound like enjoyable task.

Kitchen water freezes only

Assuming you need to insulate the low point drains, an earlier post noted this solution, which I have used with good success.



Get a pool noodle and cut two segments to fit over the low point drains, which in my case were about 8" in length. My drains aligned such that I could duct tape the two segments together after I finished some minor customization. Insulate the bottom 1-2" of each segment and duct tape over the bottom.


When freezing is a concern I activate two 'Hot Hands' hand warmer packets and slide one into each noodle segment and then place the noodle segments over the drains. The hand warmers are good for about 10 hours and can be easily replaced as needed.



I apologize for not providing pictures... my Avalanche is in storage.
