In this video we take a look at replacing the heat tape (or heat "trace" as electricians call them) on the main water line under a mobile home. The heat tape protects the waterline from freezing in colder climates.

Replacing a heat tape that is suspected of not working in warm weather is pro-active maintenance. Crawling around under the mobile home on a cold winter day after the waterline has frozen and broke is re-active maintenance. Either way, it is not really a pleasant job to do, but almost anyone can do this, and we are doing it before we put the new skirting on and get everything closed up again.

Thanks for watching.
