OT - plumbers - did my water pipes burst? Loud noise

Is your wife pregnant?

Just put on a jacket, go out outside and look under the trailer real quick.

Why do you desire a different way than this? Is this not enough?

I think....you suck.

I usually just stop at this point and assume it burst

I was just in my garage and something on the shelf was squeaking like it was about to burst.. maybe a can or bottle of something stored outside?!

Turn off all faucets in the house. Go outside and see if the red triangle in the meter is moving. If moving water leaking

Also will need to wait till temps get above freezing. If it's a dead end line like a hose Bibb. Then it could be frozen and you still get water everywhere else.

If your water pressure hasn't changed, the answer is likely no.

Exactly. If you turn all the taps on and have running water you don't have frozen pipes.

Actually, a few years ago, while the temperature was in the teens, I heard a loud bang about 5:00 AM. One of my neighbors pipes had burst. He had water running out from under his pier and beam house till he turned it off at the main and replaced the pipe himself.
