| Safety first...
As big a tightwad/diy'er as I am, I'd be calling an electrician and plumber if I was you. Lots of potential for injury and personal liability here.
Also, I think Mike has a pretty good point about how much is actually frozen. Freezing a 3' deep block of ice in a basement is no small trick as underground temperatures don't cooperate with that. More likely you have liquid water below with a sheet of ice less than 6" thick on top.
