The water spigot on the side of my house leaks. Is this the kind of thing I am going to need to replace the entire thing?

    I went under the house today to look at what would be involved in replacement. The insulation covers the plumbing. So I took my pictures and went to the hardware store. They had a replacement. Got home, and after a bit of struggling I got the old anti siphon device out. Turns out it was not broken, just the piece that lifts was off kilter and stuck. Put everything back together, and then I remembered there is also a leak the comes through the hand wheel. But it is far less than the leak that was through the anti siphon device. Maybe next week I will replace the rest of the spigot.

      Right on. Let me know if u have questions. I’m usually on here judging others peoples repairs instead of fixing my own broken stuff.
