A frozen pipe does not burst while it is frozen. It bursts when it thaws, and suddenly a supply line under full pressure is pumping water into your wall, ceiling, or crawl space. The repair has two parts: get the pipe fixed, and fix everything the water touched.

Burst pipe water usually travels inside walls, through ceiling joists, and along subfloors. The repair has to follow it everywhere it went.

Thermal imaging and moisture meters trace water from the split pipe through walls, ceilings, and floors so nothing gets missed.
Drywall and insulation around the break come out so the pipe can be fixed and the cavity can dry.
Standing water is extracted, then air movers and dehumidifiers dry the framing, subfloor, and any remaining drywall to dry standard.
The broken line gets repaired by a licensed plumber, often coordinated by the restoration contractor.
Once dry, insulation, drywall, texture, and paint are replaced so the room looks like it did before.
