When it thawed the next afternoon, the split opened up and sprayed water into the wall cavity and across the living room floor.

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

The pro uses infrared and meters to follow the water path from the break to every wet material.
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.
After drying, new insulation goes in, drywall is hung and finished, texture is matched, and the room is painted.
Call +1-877-637-9008 and confirm the main water is off. Tell dispatch where the pipe is and how long it sprayed.
You will get a call with an arrival window and help locating the shutoff if needed.

Water damage is the contractor's focus. A licensed plumber repairs the pipe, often arranged by the contractor.
Look for soft drywall, bubbling paint, or stains near the burst. A thermal camera and moisture meter will confirm it without guesswork.
