What should I do if a pipe is frozen but hasn't burst?
Shut off the main valve, open the faucet the pipe feeds, and apply gentle heat (hair dryer, heat tape) working from the faucet back toward the frozen section. Never use an open flame.
How do I know if a pipe burst?
Sudden loss of water pressure, the sound of running water with fixtures off, or visible water where it shouldn't be. If a pipe bursts, shut the main valve immediately.
Does insurance cover frozen pipe damage?
Burst pipes from freezing are commonly covered under homeowner policies as sudden and accidental events. The pipe repair itself may not be — check your policy.
How long does cleanup after a burst pipe take?
Extraction takes hours; drying runs three to five days for typical losses. Hardwood floors may take longer with specialty drying.
