What to do when a plumbing pipe bursts?

Turn off the main water supply to reduce water damage.
Turn off the electricity in that part of the home for safety.
Clean up and drain the water to avoid excess water damage.

Drain the remaining water from the faucets to take pressure off the pipes.
Does a home warranty cover plumbing?

Does homeowners insurance cover plumbing?
Homeowner's insurance policies should cover sudden water damage due to faulty plumbing or pipes that burst. However, most policies exclude old or leaky pipes, damage that occurred gradually like a slow leak, or regional flooding.
What questions to ask when hiring a local plumber?

Do you offer free estimates? If not, do you charge a minimum service fee to evaluate my project?
Do you charge by the hour or by the project?
How long have you been in business?
Do you have worker's comp insurance?
Is your plumbing work bonded?
Are your license and insurance up to date? May I see them?
Do you offer a warranty on your labor? Do the products you use have warranties?
Can I get a written estimate or contract with a full breakdown of all costs involved?

Alec was great: kept me informed about his ETA, showed up when he said he would, very personable and professional. Obviously "knows his stuff!" Did an excellent job of fixing our broken water pipe, showed us the break and explained what our situation was and what it could be going forward with the Quest pipe that was used when the home was built, made recommendations for future replacement. He did an excellent job of cleaning up and replacing the sod that had been removed for the fix. We were extremely happy that we chose him for our repair and will definitely use him again. Highly recommend him.
