I doubt that insurance that "covers flooding" also covers aquarium leakage - you would want to specifically find out. A lot of insurance companies have very specific requirements for what qualifies as a "flood" that you can recoup losses on. Although if yours covers overflowing sinks and tubs and such than it might cover aquariums.
I've never had a problem with an aquarium, and have had 4 midsized tanks that were purchased used. 20g, 30g, 37g, 45g. Never had a leak or a blowout. All were placed on actual stands, not sure if that had anything to do with it. Only the 45g was purchased as a running setup, the other 3 were dry for who knows how long before I got them. Had the 45g for another ~7 years (SW), and the 37g for ~8-9 years (FW). 45g was then moved again and setup as FW, still no issues. As long as they aren't abused or stored in an abusive environment, and have no physical issues like broken braces or stuff, they tend to be pretty hardy. Obviously leak test any tank, esp larger ones, before setting up inside.
