Sometimes people make foolish decision when it comes to this type of stuff. At least if a claim was made you have some idea that the remediation was done professionally.

That's true.
I think my worries would be , if they screwed up something obvious like the kitchen sink, what about the plumbing inside the walls? Or what about the bathroom? Is it a ticking time bomb? And if the plumbers sucked, did they also go cheap on the electrical contractors?
It just brings up a lot of questions. Personally, as a potential purchaser, it would be a huge deterrent for me even if the damage was mitigated professionally. I don't think insurance would start doing preventative repairs. Maybe this really was just a one-time fluke, but it is a lot to gamble on.
Kind of OT, but a co-worker if mine recently bought a new build and found plumbing elevations that were off and pipes that were forced together and connected with plumbing tape. Luckily the builder corrected it, but it just goes to show you how careful you need to be.
