Dripping faucet → new faucet and supply lines

Regional plumbing
Plumbing problems change by region
North & mountain states: freezing
From Minnesota to Colorado, hard freezes split pipes in exterior walls, garages and crawl spaces every winter, and basements make sump pumps essential.
Frozen pipe thawingSouth & Southwest: slabs and clay
In Texas, Florida, Arizona and much of the South, homes sit on slabs. Shifting clay and hard water lead to slab leaks and short water heater life.
Leak detectionOlder cities: aging drains
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and other older cities have century-old cast-iron drains and clay laterals that crack and fill with roots.
Sewer camera inspectionCoasts: storms and flooding
Gulf and Atlantic coast homes face hurricane season, flooding and sewer backups, plus salt-air corrosion on exposed plumbing.

Emergencies
What to do when a pipe bursts
Shut off the main water valve, open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the lines, turn off the water heater, and cut power to any room where water is reaching outlets. Then call a plumber, photograph the damage, and call your insurer.
Winter & freezing
How to prevent frozen pipes in a Colorado winter
Before the first hard freeze, disconnect hoses, blow out the sprinkler system and seal air leaks near pipes. During a cold snap, keep the heat at 55 °F or higher, open cabinet doors on exterior walls, and let faucets on outside walls drip.
Drains & sewer
Why is my basement floor drain backing up?
When water comes up through the basement floor drain, the main sewer line is usually blocked between the house and the street. Stop using water upstairs, then call a plumber to clear the main line. If it happens more than once, a camera inspection shows the cause.
