Does insurance cover a frozen pipe?

Why pipes freeze in Clarksville

Middle Tennessee winters are mild most days, then a cold snap drops temperatures into the teens or lower for a few nights.

The pipe often splits during the freeze, and the leak starts when it thaws.

Where to look

Kitchen sinks on outside walls.
Lines running through crawl spaces with open or broken vents.
Hose bibs that were left connected to a garden hose.
Plumbing in unheated garages and bonus rooms over garages.
