Busted water meter and pin hole in main water pipe

[Tina Stanton]

Pipes froze up and when thawed out it busted water meter and main water shut off pipe has a pin hole.  We just shut the water off all together. My question is though if it is going to get down to 30 or below again should we have the main water pipe shut off? I'm not sure if that will cause more damage or what.

I don't understand why people join biggerpockets to post a question about a plumbing problem instead of calling a plumber....
