We are building a house and the ground was frozen before we were able to get the underground plumbing in and pour the slab in the basement, so a LOT of water has seeped in and frozen since it is just sitting there and the sump pump is not hooked up yet.
No big deal since we haven't been ready to do anything down there until now. I ws planning on just letting mother nature do the job and melt it on its own, but I'm beginning to realize that could take a long time since the basement is always cooler than it is outside and I have 2 feet of ice in the basement.
When the ice starts melting on the top, will it make it melt faster if I keep pumping the melted water off the top or does it not matter? Any other ways to melt this quickly? I tried putting a heater down there, but it doesnt do much since hot air rises and just escapes through the cutout for the basement stairs or the egress window.
Thanks in advance E46 scientists :thumbup:
