Exposed runs
Pipes in exterior walls, garages, crawl spaces and unheated basements lose heat first. Most splits happen there, not in the middle of the house.
Pressure, not ice
Ice forms in the pipe and pressure builds between the ice and the closed faucet. The split often opens where no ice is visible, and it floods when the pipe thaws.
Cold that lasts
A single cold night rarely does it. Days in a row below freezing, like the Arctic outbreak of February 2021, drive the frost deeper into walls and crawl spaces.

(888) 532-8620 Get frozen pipe help nowHow do I know a pipe is frozen?
A faucet that gives a trickle or nothing in a cold snap, frost on an exposed pipe, or a bulge in the pipe all point to ice. Keep the faucet open and warm the pipe gently, never with an open flame.
Should I shut off the water if a pipe froze?
If a pipe may have split, shutting off the main before it thaws keeps the water from pouring out when the ice melts. Know where the main shutoff is before winter.
Why does a frozen pipe flood after it thaws?
The split opens while the pipe is frozen, but ice plugs it. When the ice melts, full house pressure pushes water out of the split, often inside a wall.
Does homeowners insurance cover frozen pipe damage?
Sudden water damage from a frozen pipe is often covered, but a policy may exclude freezing in a vacant or unheated home. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
What about the swamp cooler supply tube?
The small supply tube to an evaporative cooler holds water and can split in a hard freeze. Shut it off and drain it for winter.
