Exterior walls and rim joists
Supply lines that run through outside walls, rim joists and garages sit closest to the cold, and that is where most frozen lines split.
Long below-zero stretches
Extreme cold winters push temperatures well below freezing for days at a time, and a pipe that survives one night can freeze on the third.
The leak comes on the thaw
Ice splits the pipe, but water only pours out when the line thaws, often behind drywall in a finished basement where nobody sees it at first.

Open the faucet it feeds, keep the heat on and warm the pipe gently with a hair dryer or space heater kept clear of anything that burns. Never use an open flame.
Where is the main water shutoff?
In most homes here it sits where the water line enters the basement, next to the meter. Find it before winter so it can be closed fast.
Why did the leak start a day after the cold snap?
The ice inside the pipe blocks the split until it melts. When the line thaws, water flows through the crack, often inside a wall or ceiling.
Does homeowners insurance cover a frozen pipe?
Many policies cover sudden water damage from a frozen pipe when the heat was kept on. Coverage depends on your own policy, so check with your insurer.
Who repairs the split pipe?
A plumber repairs or replaces the pipe. The restoration team handles the water: extraction, opening wet drywall, and drying the cavity, framing and floor.
