Is it possible for a septic line under a trailor to freeze?

The line is not completely burried under the ground. Some of it is above the ground. There is skirting around the bottom of the trailor, but I still think it might be frozen because of the recent very cold whether up here.

yes. run hot water and dawn down the lines. There isnt much insulation under one of those. So when you wash stuff down the kitchen drain, like grease or fat and food. It cools down and becomes a solid before before it gets past the freeze point under ground. if the is plugged solid it may be too late to do anything at all. You'll have to call a plumber and have it rooted out. So if it drains slow try the hottest water you can get, if it doesn't drain at all, too bad; make the call.

If the skirting around your trailor is missing or down it will allow the cold air under the home. You need the skirting to trap the heat from the ground and your house. This will keep your sewer line from freezing.
