A frozen pipe does not burst while it is frozen. It bursts when it thaws, and suddenly a supply line under full pressure is pumping water into your wall, ceiling, or crawl space. The repair has two parts: get the pipe fixed, and fix everything the water touched.

Burst pipe water usually travels inside walls, through ceiling joists, and along subfloors. The repair has to follow it everywhere it went.

Thermal imaging and moisture meters trace water from the split pipe through walls, ceilings, and floors so nothing gets missed.
Drywall and insulation around the break come out so the pipe can be fixed and the cavity can dry.
Standing water is extracted, then air movers and dehumidifiers dry the framing, subfloor, and any remaining drywall to dry standard.
A licensed plumber repairs or replaces the burst section, whether copper, PEX, CPVC, or galvanized. Many restoration pros can arrange this for you.
Once dry, insulation, drywall, texture, and paint are replaced so the room looks like it did before.
Let dispatch know the water is off and roughly how long it ran.
A local contractor calls with an arrival time and may help you find a stubborn shutoff valve over the phone.
Expect moisture mapping and a written estimate before any walls are opened.

Shut off the main water valve, open faucets to drain pressure, turn off power to wet areas, and call for help. Then move valuables away from the water.
Sudden bursts are often covered, but damage from a slow leak or a pipe that froze because heat was left off may be treated differently. Check your policy with your agent.
Water damage is the contractor's focus. A licensed plumber repairs the pipe, often arranged by the contractor.
Look for soft drywall, bubbling paint, or stains near the burst. A thermal camera and moisture meter will confirm it without guesswork.
Insulate pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, and attics, keep heat on when you travel, open cabinet doors on cold nights, and let faucets drip during hard freezes.
