The pipe is often the cheap part. Water damage to drywall, insulation, and flooring usually costs more. Know where your shutoff is before it happens (find and test your main shutoff). Shut off the main immediately: emergency steps. Away from home often? Use the leak checklist. Prevent it next winter: frozen pipe prevention.
