As inspectors here in Texas we have to note as a repair if a back flow prevention device is not present, but many times I think we don't put enough importance on recommending "frost free" or "Freeze-free" faucets.

Granted we don't experience that much freezing weather here for long in the Dallas area, but I have been finding a unusual number of faucets that are leaking within the wall void, suggesting they have froze in the past.

Here's a couple pics.
