So about a week ago turned on the internal valve for the hose bib and of course it’s leaking everywhere. Figured out if I open it all the way and twist it hard it only drips every minute. It’s above the sump pit so no risk of water damage anywhere but I have a bucket under it anyway.
While I can probably reach the valve and replace the washer the real issue is more that both hose bibs (one each side of the house) need to get changed out anyway the outside handles are broken and they leak too.
I’m confident enough I could probably do it myself and get YouTube certified but i would have to go out and buy tools and a torch and for a one time job makes more sense to have someone with experience do it properly. I’d assume the outside and inside all get replaced with quarter turn too.
Both pipes inside are easily accessible from
The Basement which has unfinished ceilings and walls so no risk of messing up floors and Sheetrock.
Anyone on here interested to make a few bucks and some beers ? For the Local plumbers this is too small of a job for them they don’t even call me back.
