I am talking about the outdoor section. Not worried about whats inside.

You actually don't state what pipe burst.
We had a combination of copper and plastic (the old kind).
I became a very good plumber - as seasonal pipes were drained by different family members. And apparently some did a better job then others.
If nothing is leaking now. Probably nothing to worry about now.
But the best advice is below.
