If a pipe has already split, shut the main off before anything else — a frozen burst does not leak until it thaws, and then it does so all at once. Call tonight if you have no water at all during a cold snap, because it is still freezing while you wait.
General guidance, not advice for your specific situation. We do not publish cost estimates: almost no contractor here lists their rates publicly, so any figure we printed would be a guess you might plan around. Ask two of them.

Nothing comes out, or a trickle does, and the cold snap arrived first. Frost on an exposed pipe, or a section noticeably colder than the rest of the run, confirms it. A blocked drain is water not leaving; a frozen supply line is water not arriving.
Gently, yes, if you can reach the pipe. Open the tap first, then warm the frozen section with a hair dryer or a heat lamp, working from the tap back toward the ice. Never use a blowtorch or any open flame — it splits pipe and it is a common cause of house fires during Calgary cold snaps.
Not yet. A split often does not leak until it thaws, so the damage appears hours later when everything is running again. Watch the section closely as it warms, and if water appears, shut the main off immediately.
The section that froze will freeze again in the same conditions, so it is worth asking whoever attends why. Common causes here are an uninsulated run in an exterior wall or crawl space, a garage line with no heat, and a rim joist with a gap in the insulation. Fixing the cause is a smaller job than the burst.
