The short answer

Sudden pipe bursts from freezing are covered under water damage peril, but only if you maintained heat OR shut off water and drained pipes in an unoccupied home. Vacancy > 60 days voids the cover in most policies.

Frequently asked

Does it cover the pipe itself?
Yes, plus resulting water damage to structure and contents. Excludes gradual seepage.
