Here’s what RapidThaw customers are saying:
You’ll be pleased to hear that the 4.5’ X 30’ thermal blanket worked for our application! The blanket was in place for just under seven days. I have attached photos and weather data for the specific time period.
We “insulated” the blanket using a heavy duty tarp folded once to provide additional insulation. Frost depths in the area were in the five to six foot range – unprecedented. We are digging another site and I can get actual frost depth info and provide.
Of course, one must ask was it the blanket or natural thawing? We are convinced it was the blanket since:
A. Other services are still frozen in the immediate vicinity.
B. It certainly hasn’t been warm enough for a natural thaw!
Thank you for your prompt delivery and helping restore water service to our customers! We are believers!
