What To Do When Frozen Pipes Burst

Step 1:  If a frozen pipe get's just  an eighth of an inch crack it can spew up to 250 gallons of water a day. 

if you notice a burst pipe or water spewing from it,  immediately turn off your home's main water supply to prevent more water damage.   

Step 2:  Depending on  the amount  of water and the location  you may first  want to shut off the electricity to avoid electrical shock. 

Step 3:  If the water is coming from a hot water pipe,  shot off the valves from your hot water heater.  

Step 4:  Once the water has been shown off,  you'll want to call a Above All Cleaning & Restoration for a plumber to fix your cracked pipe and assist with clean up and test for dangerous humidity levels in the house.

Step 5:   Your next call should be to your insurance company specialist and who should be able to walk you through the steps of cleaning up and taking an inventory of damaged items.

Don't Feel Bad,

You're not alone frozen pipes impact an average of 50,000,000 families each year.   Just be sure to take precautions to ensure the pipes don't  freeze again in the future, by wrapping them with foil or fiberglass insulation and covering that with tublar sleeve insulation.  And the next time extreme freezing is forecasted allow a slow drip from  hot and cold faucets to relieve pressure.
