It depends on what caused the leak.
If the leak was caused by a covered peril under you home insurance policy such as fire, wind, hail etc then it would be covered.
If the leak is due to other reasons such as age or deterioration then it is a home owners maintenance issue.

Does business insurance cover busted pipes due to weather?
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..

Sorry but this is not a covered cause. It is more like maintenance. I remember a big issue with contractors using galvanized pipes going through concrete slab foundations. The chemicals in cement tends to dissolve galvanized pipe and if I remember correctly the contractors had to make payment on the damages. Homeowners insurance covers sudden and accidental damages that happened due to a covered cause such as fire, windstorm, vandalism, etc.
