    Dripping Noise - Water Heater or Water Softener
    I have a closet that contains furnace, water heater and water softener. I have a constant loud dripping noise coming from one of the three.

    I had the furnace serviced and the dripping noise is still there.

    Should I have the water heater serviced? Or the water softener? Is there any way for me to determine which one is the culprit?

When we bought our house, it came with a decommissioned water softener in the laundry room.
