When undrained pipes get frozen due to inclement winter weather, the pressure inside will cause them to break or burst. The U.S.   National Insurance Claim Bureau   reports that from 2014 to 2015, most water damage claims occurred during the months of January and February, which are normally the two coldest months of the year.
