Also, for posterity, water tanks and AC are usually covered in home owners and renters insurance.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Figured I'd wait till disaster was averted to chime in.
I assume you've handled that by now, so here's a project, if you like projects. Google "pex manifold system", "boiler pedestal", and "trench floor drain". Combined with an inline shuttle breaker for your water heater, you will never...ever...have that problem again. It's not possible. Every pipe in your house could burst at the same time, and it'll stay dry above the joists. Plus, it brings you up to post '99 standards. If it's a rental, disregard, fuck it, live in it till it burns down and never repair or ask for repairs on a thing. Net win for the planet. If you geek out on that, ask me about recirculating grey water. Do you have subfloor heat? How comfortable are you laying tile? Do you have space for a k-media filter? 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
