Probably some, which is better than none. It all comes down to what you are willing to pay for a little extra "insurance".
A couple years, we had a water fitting break on the furnace humidifier. We were out of town for a few weeks. Eventually, the whole basement flooded (which was less than 1 year since finishing). Because the house was "vacant", home insurance didnt cover it and the repairs/rebuild ending up costing about $40,000.
I know in that instance, I would have been happy for ADT's water leak alarm. Probably only the utility room would have needed repair. The savings would have paid for a lifetime of ADT monitoring (Which is how much, by the way? Nobody has said...)
