    Copper water lines
    I was wondering if anyone knew how to keep the copper water lines in a basement from leaking/dripping condensation onto the ceiling...

    If its just condensation that's dripping and its not leaking then you can just use some pipe insulation. Purchase it at any Lowe's or Home Depot made specifically for the size of pipe in question. It is very easy to do. I had the same problem and it solved it for me. Foam pipe insulation is it.

    Thank you for your information! Kind of a stupid question, but I am definitely going to do that!
