Frozen pipe cleanup in University City typically runs from about $3,000 to $8,000, with the range driven by where the pipe sits, how much water got loose before the shut-off, and how much wall or framing has to come out. A break in an accessible spot with a fast shut-off sits on the low end; a multi-hour release inside an exterior wall that saturates framing sits on the high end. Sudden pipe freezes are commonly covered under standard homeowners policies, and photos taken as soon as it is safe help the claim move faster.
