Shut off the main water supply if you see a split or leak, open the faucet nearest the frozen pipe, and warm the area slowly with a hair dryer or space heater placed safely away from anything flammable (never an open flame). If you can't find the frozen section or pipes have burst, talk to a local plumbing pro who serves your area.
