I would not go the insurance route. You don’t want a claim on your record for something that should be covered by the builder.

You have a valid point. It depends where the leak is. If it's a slab leak the insurance co would pay for a leak detection company to find the leak and minimize damage. The builder probably has no experience finding a slap leak. The builder if he responds is going to do the job as cheaply as possible on his time line and whatever the minimum is required to satisfy the warranty.
