Left hose on outside faucet during winter!
Okay, I foolishly left my hose connected to my outside faucet, and was fearing the worst, but now don't know what to make of what's going on...
While I was out of town on a work trip, my children noticed water seeping into the indoor bathroom which is just inside from where the outside faucet is. Upon my return, I saw the water seeping inside the bathroom from the exterior wall(not a huge amount), and then noticed water dripping from the siding outside below the faucet. Realizing what I'd done, I removed the hose (with ice in it, of course). Some time has passed, and it appears the water has stopped seeping inside, and I see no more dripping outside. Is it possible that my problem is gone (since I've removed the hose), or do I need to get a plumber over here?
Thanks for any help!!

OK. 36 degrees will slowly thaw things out. Keep the heater on and watch for more leaks. HD sells faucet covers for $1

Thanks heaps for your help. Doesn't look like I lucked out. Turned the faucet on today (it's in the 40's), and after it ran awhile, water began to seep in under the wall. Only happened with the faucet on, though. Big problem, little problem?
