What to Do if a Frozen Pipe Bursts

When water freezes into ice, it expands. This often causes pipes to burst during cold weather. A burst pipe can waste up to 250 gallons of water per day, running up your water bill and damaging your home.

This video explains what to do if you experience a burst pipe this winter. Turn off your home’s main water supply to cut off the flow of water from the pipe. Contact a plumber to address the cracked pipe, and then call your insurance company to make a claim regarding any damaged property.
