 hose bib isolated

Most home owners don't seem to winterize here. But when I run into the situation and they are winterized. I just write it in the report that they were winterized and that I did not operate them.

If you touch them, they will leak.

If it's winterized you can't test it. Re-winterizing hose bibs is a service I'd prefer not to offer.

Yup, I have one in my house that I shut off every winter and when I turn it on in the spring it leaks into the basement and I have to tighten the locking nut. The seats get funky in the old valves and will likely not seat again when you close it, thus a drip at the hose bib. Make a note that it was off and you did not operate it.
Same here, only I call it a packing nut.
