Hard frosts in Donegal, Offaly and the midlands freeze exposed pipes; thawing causes bursts.
Locate the frozen section, open the nearest tap, and gently warm the pipe with towels - never with a naked flame. If it has burst, shut the stopcock.
Typical fix cost in Wexford: €100-€600. Do not attempt work on live systems - get a licensed specialist on it.

If there is risk of damage, safety hazard or no service at all, treat it as an emergency and act now. Otherwise schedule a standard visit.
Regular maintenance catches most of these early - see the maintenance checklist in the emergency guide.
