A dripping faucet wastes water, and if it's the hot tap, energy as well.
Quick checks
- Look for drips at every faucet and showerhead
- Check for a running toilet: put a few drops of food coloring in the tank and see if color appears in the bowl without flushing
- Look for water around the base of the water heater
- Many drips are fixed with a cheap washer or cartridge
