Normally your insurance (at least in the UK) will only cover the resulting damage of the burst pipe. Generally speaking burst pipes are considered maintenance problems and so the repair to the pipe itself is not covered (although some policies will cover it in some situations).
The damage that results from the burst pipe is an "escape of water" and that is a standard peril on most property insurance policies. This means that the damage to the walls or floors which is caused by the water will be covered.
The conclusion is that normally the pipe itself is not covered but any resulting damage is, but check your policy to be sure.
There is some advice on how to avoid burst pipes, which you might want to take a look at see related link..
