Many companies make propane or kerosene portable hot air heaters that work great for heating up spaces to get pipes unfrozen. You get quick BTU's, they fit relatively easily in crawl spaces and some don't require power (very useful in power outages)0 -

After unthawing
Unless you do this a great deal of the time you may find a good rental firm that rents thawing machines! I also would research out why the lines are freezing and try to get the owners to take corrective measures or add hydronic formulated anti-freeze.
