The water in your pipes is under pressure so that it comes out of the tap when you turn it on. If there is a hole in the pipe (i.e. a leak) then the water will come out under pressure, the same as if you turned on your tap - if this hole faces upwards then there will be a jet or water like a fountain. The height of this jet is dependant upon the pressure of the water

How do you know if a frozen pipe bursts?
