A gauge on an outside spigot gives the answer in a minute, and pressure well above the normal residential range points at a regulator that has drifted. Banging pipes when a washer shuts off, toilets that refill on their own, and a relief valve dripping at the water heater all point the same direction. A plumber covering Riverside and South Corning can read it and set it back.

That's water hammer, and high static pressure makes it far worse than it would otherwise be. The moving water has to stop suddenly and the shock travels back through the supply lines. Lowering pressure to a normal setting and adding arrestors at the appliance usually settles it.

Yes. Close the main shutoff first, then kill power to the water heater at the breaker if the leak is anywhere near it. That stops the damage from growing while you wait. Leave the diagnosis and the repair to the plumber who comes out.

It depends on the policy and on what caused the failure, so contact your insurance provider before assuming either way. Many policies treat sudden failures differently from slow seepage. Keep photographs and any paperwork from the visit, since carriers usually want to see what was found and what was done.
