LINCOLNWOOD, Ill. (CBS) -- The dangerously cold temperatures are causing all kinds of problems across the area.

In north suburban Lincolnwood, firefighters firefighter found water everywhere at the Pita Bowl, 6699 Lincoln Ave., early Monday morning after a pipe burst.

The department responded to an alarm at the restaurant, near Lincoln and Crawford avenues.

A few inches of water were on the floor and the water was still running.

Firefighters did try to push some of the water out of the building.

Experts recommend letting faucets drip to help prevent your pipes from freezing especially if they are on exterior walls.
