No water. Please help

Teri Mason Perkins This will be long....the other night when it went down to 10 degrees, we had every faucet open with a fast drip. I was inside, heard a pop, and saw water on outside patio. Went outside, water pouring under master bath. I immediately turned breaker off. In the morning I shut the valve off just past the bladder tank to the house. Put a tarp around the bladder tank, and put a heater under it for a whole day. As it was getting warmer the next few days, I left it be. 4 days later, I turned the breaker on...to my Subnersible pump, no water out of the spigot by the bladder tank. I shut breaker off. Did some research. Checked pressure of tank with tire Guage. No air. No water. Filled the bladder tank to 28 p.s.i. as our pressure switch is a 30 50. Checked every 2 hours. 4 times. Still at 28 p.s.i. flipped breaker. Could hear the pump. Felt the pipe going down the well. It was running. 10 minutes. No water in tank. Shut off breaker. Replaced pressure switch. Still nothing. More research... tried removing the check valve. Turned on. No water still feel pump going. I just put this well pump in 3 years ago. So, in my mind... something wrong with bladder tank or well pump? Been without water for what, a week. I'm going crazy. We live pretty tight. Can I SOMEHOW determine bladder tank, or Pump?. I always sell shrimp at Mooses in the summer. I will take care of someone who helps, next time I head south.

Sorry for your problem. The well head could still be frozen, or the pipe in the well may have broken. With a clip around AC amp meter you can tell as max amps for the HP would mean a broken pipe while low amps would mean the pipe is still frozen.

Not the pressure switch as you said you can hear/feel the pump running, so the original pressure switch was supplying power to the pump.

Although there could be an issue with the pressure tank, a defective tank will not prevent water from being delivered while the pump is operating.

This leaves the reasons that Valveman stated above.

Went outside, water pouring under master bath.

Where was the source of water leakage from under the Master bath?

Hot Water pipe.
