Install heat tape on the freeze-prone pipes of an invited Yreka home.

Yreka's hard freezes burst pipes every winter in the crawlspaces and wall-exposed runs of its old housing, and for elderly residents a burst line means water damage they cannot repair. Thermostatic heat tape plus foam sleeve on the freeze-prone runs, installed in one visit, ends the annual gamble.

Pay

$260 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before/after photos of each protected run

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Confirm the invitation and locate the freeze-prone runs at crawl entries, exterior walls, and hose bibs.
2. Photograph each run before work.
3. Install thermostatic heat tape along each reachable run per its instructions, plugged to a grounded outlet, never overlapped on itself.
4. Fit foam sleeves over the taped runs and insulated covers on bibs.
5. Confirm the tape's indicator works and show the occupant.
6. Photograph the finished runs and log the total length.

What counts as done

• Before photos of exposed runs with GPS and date
• After photos of taped, sleeved runs
• Photo of the working indicator light and length log

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
