This episode of Torque & Tape walks through the complete outdoor spigot repair: diagnosing packing vs. seat washer leaks, locating and verifying your shut-off valve, bleeding the line before any work begins, and the rubber hose trick that protects your threads during reassembly. Including the mentor mistake that turned a 20-minute job into a 3-hour wall-soaking disaster. Subscribe on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
