re: I thought my pipes were frozen

You' re trolling. Go away.

You could light the wall on fire and see. It'll thaw the pipes and if there is a leak, it'll take care of the fire.

I'd rather not damage my wall.

Doesn't electricity conduct heat? Maybe I could strip and extension cord and tape the hot wire to a faucet and plug it in.

No water coming out of the faucets but you hear water running behind the wall?

99/100 times this is not good and you don't seem very lucky.

Just make sure to get someone to youtube it first. Dont forget the speech about you being an expert and to only do this if youre qualified.

Clearly the OP was joking and then you all inspired him with the helpful tips.

Are you in a house or an apartment?

If you are in an apartment, for the sake of the folks downstairs turn off the water at the water main and call the land lord.

If it's your house, feel free to ignore the advice that you have a broken pipe. Expect to ruin a room or two and if you've a wife/ spouse or children move their things to the highest part of the house and definitely off the floor.

You have a broken pipe. But this may be a lesson you have to learn for yourself. Just don't ruin someone else's week while you are learning.

Seems more likely that the freeze blockage is closer to the toilet. I'm going to boil some water and put it in the toilet tank and flush to see if that helps.

Okay, we've officially graduated to a new level of stupid on this board.

I don’t think that’s it.
