Ice is a plug as well as a cause. A line splits during the freeze, the ice inside holds the split closed, and the damage announces when the thaw melts the plug and the line runs at full pressure into the wall or the basement ceiling. That is why the discovery is often a wet wall or a ceiling stain on a mild day after a cold snap. The repair visit should name which run failed and why, because the next coldest wall in the same house is usually built the same way.
