After going crazy for a few monhts and a few Internet searches, I've diagnosed my problem as pipe contraction/expansion.
It is most noticible in the basement; which is 3/4 finished. From the unfinished room where the pipes are exposed I can see the length of the basement where the pipes run between the finished basement ceiling and the floor from the room above. The drain pipes run separetly from where the water pipes run, and the sound is most noticible from the copper pipes.
It is a steady dripping sound -- but after almost a year there is still absolutely no sign of moisture (which I noticed and would have expted to see after the first week; so I've basically ignored this curiosity fora while).
So the question is: how can I fix this, or is this one of the joys of owning a home? The pipes do make some 90 degree turns if that helps.
Also, can somebody confirm my diagnosis?
Thanks
