You already know that plumbing problems don't go away on their own. And waiting just increases the risks to your house. Plumbers see this hesitation all the time. Instead of regretting not calling earlier, just make that 2-minute call now and get your free estimate.

It depends entirely on your policy, the cause of the failure and whether the damage is sudden or gradual, so contact your insurance provider before you assume anything. Many policies treat a sudden burst differently from a slow leak that went unnoticed. Photograph the failure point and the damage before repairs begin, since adjusters ask for it.

In older houses it sits inside on the service line just past the main shutoff, often in the basement near the front wall. Newer installations and some rural services put the meter in an outdoor pit near the property line instead. Either way, the valve on the street side of the meter is the one that isolates the whole house.

Close the main shutoff before anything thaws, because a frozen section that has already split will pour once the ice lets go. Leave a faucet open so pressure has somewhere to escape. Then get a plumber looking at the frozen run rather than warming it blind.

Both exist across this part of the state, and the answer often changes street by street rather than town by town. Homes on the older built-up streets tend to be on a public main, while properties further out toward Albion run their own wells. What you are on decides whether a curb stop exists at all.
