Just got back from Hockey and dinner. I was trying to figure out why that spot would have had water to be able to freeze as well. Didn't make much sense to me either unless it was already plugged as it was a vertical section. Pipes are good, I snaked the entire thing and it drains very fast.
For some reason the supply lines come up through the bottom of the cabinet base, but the drain comes up through the wall and then comes out. Not sure why they put the drain in the wall.
The drain pipe is clamped to the outside wall of the house, the cavity is full of insulation, but all that it is doing is insulating the pipe from the heat of the indoors.
I'm contemplating moving it so it goes down through the cabinet base. I can do it, I'm just not sure it is worth the hassle. We went 5 years with no issues, and now that I know what I need to do it will only take 15 minutes to fix next time.
