Only if it can drain. A frost-free sillcock shuts off well back inside the warm wall, but a connected hose blocks the drain and the design stops working. That is the single most common cause of a split spigot around Sugar Notch.

Usually on the basement wall closest to the street, near the meter. Finding it and turning it once a year, before winter, is worth doing while nothing is wrong. A valve that has not moved in twenty years is the one that fails when it is needed.

Before the first hard freeze, which around here follows frost near October 19. The shutoff for the spigot is usually inside on the basement wall behind it, and the tap outside needs opening afterwards so the leftover water can drain.

It depends on the policy and on the cause, so contact your insurance provider before assuming either way. Sudden accidental water damage is treated differently from a slow leak that went on for months. Photographs of the split and of the wet area help whichever way the claim goes.
