The five most common causes of burst pipes are freezing temperatures, clogs or blockages, high water pressure, wear and tear, and tree roots.
To handle water damage from frozen pipes, do the following: 1. Ensure your safety. 2. Turn off your main water shutoff valve. 3. Take an inventory.
Turn off your water shutoff valve to cut off water to the burst pipe. Open the taps and faucets to relieve pressure from the pipes.
