Will Homeowners Insurance Cover

You're looking at a surchargeable claim regardless. The damage to the floor will likely be covered if you can prove its from the water that leaked from the pipe. As for the house needing to be leveled, that's not gonna be covered but could also be why the pipe burst in the first place. If it's the cause of the leaky pipe, you're fricked because it'll be denied.

Had a cast iron trap under the house where the lid threads corroded away over time. So all bath and shower water in tub pouring under house. I've been told the moisture pooling under house caused the buckling.

By no means is this a certainty, but TYPICALLY you could expect no coverage for the plumbing issue with some sort of coverage for the ensuing damage.

Edit: Missed the over time portion. May get lucky, but if they can prove their position then you may get a lovely denial letter.

House also needs to be leveled.

That's drastic.

Not really for a pier and beam foundation, especially how wet Louisiana has been this year. Homes move all the time, especially a home on piers...

If the damage happened suddenly due to a burst pipe, it should be covered because that's an event that cannot reasonably be predicted or always avoided.

If the damage happened over time, the insurance company will deny the claim because ongoing inspection and maintenance of the property is the homeowner's responsibility and cumulative damage is considered to be due to the homeowner's neglect of the faulty condition, not the faulty condition.
