FlowGuard gold pipe breaks

[76Gator]

The line that leads to the refrigerator had cracked for the second time. The first time a patch was put into the line and now it is leaking a foot above that section. The pipe is FlowGuard Gold and you can feel the crack in the pipe. I am just wondering if I should insist on the insurance company covering the cost of taking out the entire pipe for however far back it leads. I have no clue at this point if it runs 4 feet more up the wall and turns and runs through the floor joists or if it runs to the attic. So I have to at least fix the immediate spot but really feel this entire bunch of pipe needs to go.

Any thoughts on how much of this pipe should go?

The insurance company ONLY covers the damage to the building. They do NOT cover the cost of repairing the pipe, OR replacing it. That is up to you, and then they will repair the wall, hopefully, depending which insurance company you have.
